Burst of Bloom

Petals of passion
unfurl in delicate layers,
buds peaking
in continuous motion
surround the center core,
spreading outward
until exploding
into symphonies of sensations,
creating nature
in full-blown splendor

Author notes

LOL - these 30 words are what the muse sent!!! Not sure if this fits the prompt, I only saw the picture when I started typing....LOL

    this was good
    the imagery I think was best in the first to lines, like Sensual Angel previously pointed out

      Thank you so much Neon! I think if you click the contest link you can see the picture - it was a Dahlia (I think) open in full bloom, but after I wrote this the prompt came up for something to do with symphonies!...LOL

      Thank you so much Bear for the lovely comment. I checked that link out - was I correct in using the dash in full-bloom? I wasn't sure from the link as it showed it with the dash also.
      Glad you enjoyed.

      LOL - thank you so much Rob, but I have got to have one of the strangest muses around....if it's a dark picture, she sends comedy, if it's nature, she sends sensual....HELP...
      should I delete?
