Fierce focus finds its
purpose in the most delicate
of parcels.
With a tiger lily bite she
holds the small and helpless
below the line of fire
with a stare that would scare
any errant winds.
Wrapped and wound
she quickly adapts to
to dangers that lurk
beneath the smile
of the rosy horizon.
I'm a fan of end-to-beginning transition rhymes and internal rhymes.
ReplyDelete"with a stare that would scare" - this rhythm often segues into the spoken word, rise and fall of emphasis.
Internal and incidental rhymes are still open frontier.
"Wrapped and wound" - I see wound around and wound up tight, ready to spring, to leap, to dodge, to protect that parcel.
Finally, "the smile of the rosy horizon."
This is a welcome metaphor.
I find this photo horrifying.
