When she rises in the morning
I linger to watch her;
She spreads the bath-cloth underneath the window
And the sunbeams catch her
Glistening white on the shoulders,
While down her sides the mellow
Golden shadow glows as
She stoops to the sponge, and her swung breasts
Sway like full-blown yellow
Gloire de Dijon roses.
She drips herself with water, and her shoulders
Glisten as silver, they crumple up
Like wet and falling roses, and I listen
For the sluicing of their rain-dishevelled petals.
In the window full of sunlight
Concentrates her golden shadow
Fold on fold, until it glows as
Mellow as the glory roses.
Thank you so much everyone for your enthusiasm which is much appreciated. ( Apart from meeting the challenge of today's word, I thought that many of us were entitled to a burst of colour to contrast with today's grey, damp and cold!) @nicoleterheide@purplehaze12@tishpics@w3n6y@wordpixman@mittens
Thank you very much. I used the 'love flare' frame on Ribbet (free online photo editing) and just played with the colour option until I got something I liked! Think I might use it again!!
