A Moment of Silence
Originally penned for the Get Comfortable challenge on Vocal and inspired by the fabulous Dharrsheena Raja Segarran, this mostly-straight take on the Fibonacci poetry format features a mild twist that works within the constraints of the format and the theme of the contest.
Steam
Wine
Roses
Swirling in
The white porcelain
A respite from chaos; a dream
*
I
Sink
Into
The water
Heat seeping into
Pores as I savor the quiet
*
Loose
Red
Petals
Float beneath
My nose releasing
Sweet and earthy tranquility
*
Eyes
Closed
Light peeks
Through the thin
Plastic sheet of my
Shower curtain, mottled and grey
*
Neat
Drips
