From the Window
Silver french knots twinkle on
midnight blue velvet
silent trees keep vigil
deep fuchsia-rose-flame scarves
tip toe in dance, signaling
feathered choir's performance,
lauds this canonical hour
Buttery essence arrives
Flickering new beginnings
It took me awhile but I did it. I knew from the first what to describe. The how without totally saying what it was; my challenge. Thank to Poetry Thursday and using Chris Sapp's idea. Sometimes we all need to stretch.

I guess we are not suppose to guess but I loved your imagery. Bravo!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog. This is a very interesting poem - it makes me think of a Bird of Paradise - the flower - I really like "the canonical hour."
As for moving to wordpress: it is a snap. They have an import for links, an import for posts - you'll be up and running and posting in under an hour, guaranteed. Then, just leave a redirect link as the laso post on your old site and you're good to go!
The wordpress dashboard is very different though, so that may take a bit of adjusting - to the logic of the program. But once you get it, it's all-encompassing - all the widgets, all the stats - all options.
Loved your poem, Jone. I think it is about dawn. Great job -- worth the challenge and effort!
Really beautiful poem!
beautiful approach of sunrise.
wow! the poem is so dense and chocked full of lovely language and images. I can't quite pinpoint the "answer," but I don't mind the mystery. Great poem.
sorry it took so long to get here. I can't beleive you mentioned my name. How nice. Your description of this "thing" is awesome. I love the word velvet and the descriptive colors. My fav line is "tip toe in dance." The whole thing is just magical. I was thinking the sky or stars when I started but now I just don't know.
Some of you guessed it. It was about dawn. I love the guess about bird of paradise. In California, my family has several of them in our backyard. One of my favorite flowers and I am sad that they do not grow in the NW.
