Paper heart shredded
petals caught summer's last breath
shedding young colour
for somber shades of undone
because winter prefers pales
She wore danger well
disregarding the darts of fall
'til the brights splintered
And heights of star~fling melted
beyond a vespoid venus.

Ooh, I love this. Especially the stand out line of "because winter prefers pales". The imagery and abstractness of this really captivated me; I very much enjoyed reading this, and the form you chose worked perfectly.
Thanks for your entry,

The heart is the first to feel and the last to know. When the vespid seductress strikes it seems to come all at one but could of been read in the stars if they had not filled the eyes.
Love,
Tom B.
