Sprinkle of Tenderness

calm silence
kisses caress my head
surprised by nature

Purple Onions

I tried to use the technique of the metaphor in writing this.

    Duana, this is a wonderful poem. I love short ones like this and this one is no exception. You haven't lost your touch while I have been away that is easy to see.

    I think in the first line you really don't need both "calm," and "still." I think you could just say "calm silence." That would give a stronger image I think. I really like the last line. Nature surprises us in so many ways. Lovely work, thanks for entering
