I'm seeking out springtime
And discover blossoms
That resemble lips;
I kiss them pretending
They're hers, the budding promise
Of velvet pink petals, tips
Opening ever so slightly
Just for me,
Their fragrance beckons,
I must come closer…
I am an explorer in a world
That's bright and lovely and
Oh-so-new.
As I serenade,
A dew forms a
Bead that sparkles
Prismatic colors dancing
Proud, bold
No longer afraid
Or hidden away
From the cold.
I have to catch my
Breath as I dive into
The depths of
Uncharted waters.
And when the neighbors wonder what
In the world I'm on
I'll say
it's her,
it's her,
it's her…
As I fully enjoy
Every
single
flower.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

This poem gave me a lot to think about - well done!

Stunning!! Really love your work, Bex. The final lines, "I'll say it's her, it's her, it's her…As I fully enjoy Every single flower." conclude the piece so nicely (also just realised I haven't been subscribed to you until now, so I'm fixing that immediately haha)
Wow, Bex! This is superb! So evocative, so textured...just yummy. I have chills.
