Watermelons – Visual Verse
Thank you Visual Verse! Some excellent writing here. Enjoyed Sheikha A’s SOS poem a lot.
Visual Verse is an anthology of art, poetry, short fiction and non-fiction.
They supply an image every month and invite writers – published or unpublished – to submit a piece in response. My poem for May is titled ‘Watermelons’ -a fruit for this hot season.

I conjure you up
from a flame
When you arrive
I become one

Cloud-trampled day
Based on a painting by Nadira ( Dreaming Through The Twilight)
Tumultuous swirls
spread smoke
Trees listen erect
late to the lecture
Sharp hats on
Leaves static
Silence rules
grave-deep, stern-gray
Crisp, cold drops
on tongue-tips
of mountains
Smudged kohl outlines
stormy eyes of the valley
Sky-frost and earth-mist
companions adrift

For your inspirational painting Nadira Cotticollan Thank you!

Visitors
A window opened
The last embers of night died
stamped upon
by bathroom slippers
The last embers of night died
stamped upon
by bathroom slippers
Dawn swept in
clearing a path with its broom of gold
only to be stopped at the sill
by another early riser
winged
