White petals
Yellow heads
Drooping vines
They all nod in the breeze.
If you close your eyes
You'll see the darkness
Hiding between the canopy
And the forest floor's cracks
Tracing a path that led to greener grass
Once upon a time.
This poem was inspired by one of OmeletteDanish's stunning art pieces, an image of hands tied together by a vine with a dandelion at its tip. Link in the in-line comment here to check out her works. (They're AMAZING. She's so good with blending in the colours and making any visual pop out with emotion.) ---->
I'm trying to get back into poetry. It's a little depressing for New Year's Day, which I only now realize, but do not worry! I made a more cheerful poem after this one. (Keep an eye - or should I say, an ear....out for it.)
