Beauty Leaves

An orchestra of shadow
Moon licked by character, wasp nest
And a sliver of orange is
Reaching together into
Tongues of landscape
A wild form,
Impeccable.
You just have to trust,
For some kinds,
Beauty
Leaves.

My poem was created for Danika over at the Accidental Novelist. She's given everyone a challenge. You are asked to rewrite bits of her poetry and use them in your own poem. Here are the words:

landscape is a form of character
reaching into leaves a wasp nest
licked together by an orchestra of
tongues wild and orange sliver for
moon impeccable shadow some kinds of
beauty you just have to trust

Gorgeous and you managed to detangle the words into a profound vision. loved this:
"You just have to trust,
For some kinds,
Beauty
Leaves."

So that's what it looks like.
Kind of sad.

'wasp nest

Reaching together into
Tongues of landscape'

I'm with Rhian, I like the ending, the double meaning and the rhythm.

Thanks for playing!
