Jan's Crimson

Thank you Jan...

This piece was inspired by Jan Mader who challenges writers to write. This is what I came up with for the challenge of the color red...

~

Beautiful marigolds dancing in my mind
Reminders of you
Of love
Swirling thoughtlessly...

Remembering crimson's sunlight
That sat so warmly in the hands
Of a bellowing ember in the bitter cold of winter
You fall into my mind on a day that
Recalls love to my heart
Like the rose that sits in solitude
Withering away
Crimson's light shines in to water my soul

A Note From Alya!

I just wanted to drop a note to say "Thank you" to all of the followers of this blog and especially my P.E.G.S Poets Contributors! Our beginning is slow, but we are growing into a small family. My goal for P.E.G.S is to build a poetry community website for all poets who truly love to write and have the art of expression. The future and the notoriety of P.E.G.S depends solely on word of mouth, so if you are a first time visitor to the site please take a moment to drop a little note that says you dropped by and by all means tell people about P.E.G.S! If you would like to support the future building of the P.E.G.S website, please purchase a T-shirt. We at the P.E.G.S family welcome you to join us and we thank you for stopping by!Alya and the P.E.G.S Family!
