PIF Contest ~ Simplicity

I want simple beauty. The simplest of poetry at its true brilliance.

There's one poetess I've recently met, her poems are amazing, simple and beautiful. Read her poems, and you will understand what I mean by simple beauty.

http://allpoetry.com/Nicolette

Do not try to imitate her, or copy her poems, use her ideas or themes. Be original. Points go up. Soon.

You have a prompt, yes.

Your prompt is ~ "September"
Picture can be used for inspiration.

Gold winner pays it forward, do not enter if you have no intention of doing so.

No erotica, adult, abuse categories.
Sensual is beautiful.

Don't just write about leaves or autumn, or about blood or tears. Write from your heart. Make it simple, beautiful. No time or word limits. I can wait. For any number of poets.

    My thoughts of Nicolette are,


    she writes stunningly exquisite
    dazzling your thoughts
    to stir with awe…
    leaving you
    breathless

    Candy...

    Thank you so much.... I don't know what to say. My friends that know me well here on AP knows that when I am moved beyond words I always say "now all my doves have left me..."...This is one of those occasions.

    You are a dear and I am honoured. Thank you - and to everybody else for their kindness !!
