Tantalize the form to be
you brief life haunting
dainty summer seed

Inspired by the words ‘Dainty, Haunting, Tantalize‘ on Three Word Wednesday.

    1. Thank you Kim. I’ve been spending a great deal of time connecting (or reconnecting?) with the natural world. Noticed all those seeds flying around this week, and put it at the back of my mind. When it came time to write for 3WW, they just seemed tailor made.

      There were hundreds of them floating around the city this week, and when I went on my lunch hour walk, hundreds more drifting along the road. What released them trusted the open space, a strong wind, and a fertile patch of earth to call home anew.

    1. Cheers Nanka. Yes off they go on a journey of faith, some finding refuge here or there. Spent, they leave behind something for their other form to make a home.
