“Welcome at the 2nd episode of our new CDHK month August 2019. This month we are “creating” a field of flowers, all prompts will be flowers that we can find in the fields around us. We will see a lot of beautiful flowers … Today I have chosen “poppies” to work with.”

it must have bloomed
from a wintry shower

poppies still redder
sacrifice for God

one summer day
poppies coloring the meadows –
raindrops start to fall

wait to be filled with showers

About purplepeninportland

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
