Westering
turns, turns again- deep ticks-
culminating inside
warbling tocks.
black numbers are falling
from her dimpled face-
her hands rising, noon,
in perfect tree formation.
variable geometries stray
from a single fingertip
rotating in the westering wind
like translucent dandelion seeds.

Ah, you used these words beautifully, seamlessly. Nice work.
Beautiful words, and I love the image of time in the first stanza.
Nicely written poetry, I like the way you got the five words in, and I adore that final line, then again, I've got a thing about dandelions...
I really like this:
'turns, turns again- deep ticks-
culminating inside
warbling tocks.'
Separating the tick from the tock makes me reflect.
I love the last image you created, because my daughter thinks dandelions are beautiful flowers.
I like the title. Loved the last stanza! Marvellous.

Such strong images. Well done!
it's good to see you writing michelle... rich scenes of life filled with wonder...the idea of time a tree fingertip westering winds and seeds...
