Exiting The Post Office

[Suz-zen]

She
was
one
extraordinary
geranium
blossoming red
among the dandelions
black and white

Exiting the post office
you might
miss her

if
your wilted gaze
would not land on
parcels envelopes
boxes or
lazy ways


if
you
only
saw her
you would

be
a hundred fields of
Crimson
pollinating
bees
and you
would
hear
constant buzzing
of old movie titles
in living color
and taste the
almost
lost
smokey
desire.

she was only one
Blossoming
in plain sight
Crimson
among the dandelions
and you almost missed her.

this is one extraordinary share Suz-zen! the connections you make are beautiful honest and subtle. The imagery is expansive but doesnt overwhelm or confuse the subject. Treasure this concept, it has bloomed true!

THANK YOU! lunar glide! I had started this one around Christmas at the post office. A little thought struck me at that time. It was a picture in my head stayed with me until now. And I had to write it today. I appreciate your comments so very much!

Very evocative imagery here Suz-zen. I agree with lunar glide - you've made this one sing - in harmony! I like that it's got a kind of 'in-your-face' tone too - you almost missed her...

If you care to share the back-story - I'm interested!

Hello Suz-zen, And 'she', too, saw the dandelions as dandelions and not as weeds as many the poet might. To live with such awareness is to love living, the art of living as is the art of the geranium, the buzzing bees and this beautiful poem. A passing politeness in versed beauty. Very well done, indeed. Regards, Tony.

Thanks, Tony Grannell. After writing this I read Wordsworth beautiful observation on Daffodils. It is one to be read aloud and researched as to how it came about.Then I heard on the news that the color 'daffodil' is being retired by Crayola crayons!!?!?!? ACK! the Horror!!
