tips flaring thick
their tongues of fire
praising, bruised skies,
scorned by cumulus swells
[/I]freely
spurring their pulpous
pollinations in wisps afar[/I]
with bare soles
she slips a path
'neath their blaze
awakening
the artist to darken
his heedful strokes
for the attentive battle
named, woman and earth.

Blue, this. Is awesome. I love your use of idioms like "bruised sky." This may be just my read but I feel the artist's quandry of painting the beautiful flowers or the stunning woman soon to enter the frame.Or the comparing of the woman with the flowers...both beauties of nature. Thanks for the wonderful images.

This is simply eloquent ... I've always loved Van Gogh's dappled strokes - and your pen has the same deft touch

This is a great translation you have displayed for us Blue. As always your artistic flare is never short of being amazing.
