Lisa – The Versesmith, selected the image this week. Remember, we can see what’s in the photo, so write your poem using the image as an inspiration. Don’t describe what you see in the image. Think about the colors, the type of flower (aster) and the butterfly. Use your third eye to see beyond the photo, then write your poem.
violet landings
scented receptors await
autumn wings flutter
nature’s brief encounter here
such shy beauty is fleeting
