A Moment of Silence

Purple Poetry // 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
