Isn't this gorgeous; I couldn't find a photo that I had that portrayed the beauty I wanted. I decided to look on
Etsy. Here I found this woman, Crystal with a shop, called
"The Demure Dragonfly",(love the name). Mario and Crystal work in photography, illustrations and artistic designs All of the photos listed, in their shop, can be ordered in just about any size and in several different print finishes, framing options, and on various merchandise (mugs, magnets, etc.) Every photo can also be ordered as a photo card set. Just inquire for more information! I thought it would be fun to use a talented team to portray the poem I wrote today~
Poets United prompt #33 is Fire; fireworks came to mind. I wanted to end it on the birth of adulthood, not the grand finale of life.
Green fertile mind grows,
Once a bit seasoned, the flame ignites.
Youth smolders, internal heat erupts
Blisters form, as passion roars.
Radiating warmth with fits of rage.
Scorched gifts, burn into furrowed brow,
Oppressive humidity, sucks oxygen out,
Slowly arrogant n' proud, dissipate.
Intensity sparks light of hope,
Enlightenment is kindled,
Passion's promise glows,
Best Wishes of future planted.
Oooh's and aahh's arrive,
as fiery rain dances,
Display breathtaking beauty,
Triumphant new birth
appears.

Pamela-Thank you; I do think we all have potential to find our path. It does help, if we have parents that expose us to many mediums. I am still working on that one. ;-D
Hi Sherry-Yes, it does seem a lot of gifts come with strings,invisible ones that can scorch our feelings. Thank you so much~
