Magenta

pale flush
in blooded river

falsetto tears
left to fall then wither

and a kiss farewell
in silent starlight quiver

    Ahh, my favorite shade of pink, or red.. however one might look at it. Great imagery here. I loved the expression here. It is so hard to make a poem great in just a few words, but you have certainly done that here dear. Good luck in the contest!!

    Love,
