Heaven's Day (sonnet)
I selected the Wild Daisy IV by Kate Rowley over a more traditional flower in a meadow selection because it had this unkempt, "windy/bed-hair" feel to it. The poem has an obvious sensual current running through it that I thought would have been too overt with the accompanying picture had it been one of the many pieces of art about flowers that are just straight sex.
I would like some feedback on this- usually, I don't like offering any explanations or context for the poetry I like because I feel that it will affect a bias of influence on the reader's opinion-- not letting them draw their own conclusions. What do you think? Yay or nay?
Pink flower with your petals to the air,
Craving rising sun that warms and delights;
You rest, rooted in verdant earthly care,
Knowing I warm you by heavenly nights.
Nymphs frolic and nuzzle your slender stem,
Licking gems of dew that bead from morning,
While a soft breeze whispers by your leaves' hem
Yielding thoughts of distant autumn's warning.
Afternoon light stretches, sunning your rest-
provoking desires to uproot and sway,
then ride the tall hill's sloping, windswept crest
held in heady hands to end heaven's day.
Evening's starlight heralds night's covering blanket;
The sun disappears like cupid's arrow sank it.
