minuet of the reeds

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
πŸ•Š πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ


Amber frosted reeds
in scintillating wind
swaying, dancing,
synchronised now
syncopated and back
shouting then singing

xanthine etudes

boisterous and raucous
bright and nimble
leaving pliant
graceful kisses
on a pair of soft
smooth cheeks

    Beautiful imagery. I often see those reeds with their feathery plumes at the marina and on the river bank. They take on a life of their own in the wind. You have used some fine vocab in this poem arqios. Lovely and sensual too.

        It's that well-known friend again, xanthine, though I'm talking gibberish. Being uncultured, I dunno what it is! lol. Good write Mr Minuet.

          Botanical fireworks set to music in this poem in a metaphoric work of passion. Chef's kiss to this

                Beautiful, natural, sensual, linguistically, lyrically titillating. All of this and above. Loved this, my friend. An easy fave. By the way what would coffee be without xanthine? Decaf of course! LOL! πŸ™πŸŒΉ

                        A beautiful poem.Some of the big words I had to look up but a powerful image created.

                        • arqios

                          Written back in the day when big words were kind of a thing. Tweaked and dusted for a possible spin on the bitumen. Thanks kindlyπŸ™πŸ»πŸ•Š
