Hand picked to the pages
Flicked to image upon image
Who's face will fit a bed tonight
Blossom that’s groomed
Buds laid upon crisp linen sheets
tantalising .....
Wall climbers of lilac spread amongst green foliage
Embroided patterns cross stitch a longing desire
Heartfelt entwined the silks
Lily upon water splashed
Rose petals unfurl
picked...
Wilts in a jam jar
for this, a flower bleeds

Great imagery! Loved this line..."Embroided patterns cross stitch a longing desire" ***Pam***

Oh hun that is a simply beautiful write! This is full of such deep meaning... as a longing feel about it, and a touch of sadness at the end.
Brilliant... good luck!

BOY!!! Do I ever sense a heartfull of emotion inside these words!!! The imagery is enough to create a spark even without the picture.

Wow, this is terrific imagery, I loved "Embroided patterns cross stitch a longing desire"... these flowers are beautifully laid around and beyond the picture. There is something very sad about dead flowers, a sacrifice for enjoyment of their beauty... Best of luck in the contest!

In awe! If I understood your metaphoric poem correctly, you are referring to a model, who was once famous, and then as she aged, she was thrown away, for a younger model. How superb to write entirely in metaphor! Your assonnace and alliterisation helps your words to flow smoothly. A winner to me. Best wishes in this contest!
