The Wedding Dress
fuzzy empty clouds
dandelion skeletons
of half-blown wishes
and breezes blow
grey flowers sway underfoot
cow parsley shadows
trickling storm streams
carry specks of stolen light
into sunless earth
~~
soft leaves are bouncing
stems sway with flutters of green
swollen raindrops fall
~~
dipolar sunshine
lane lies clothed in lace shadows
footsteps of light and shade
~~
sea thistle towers
bees bumble through barbed flowers
wearing pollen shoes
~~~

So beautiful and masterfully penned!! Especially loved your line “dandelion skeletons of half-blown wishes” – perfect photo too!! This is such a great seed of inspiration!!! Mmm! It makes me curious?? Half-blown wishes??? Would love an explanation of that? So, is that wishes that were only half baked, half wanted or worked toward and thus not sincere? Maybe the photo is throwing me off because it is a “complete” skeleton with all the dandelion wishes/seeds gone? Ha! Don’t mind me!!
Oh, loved the title of your series – “Bad Decisions” – Wow! Could write a whole series of poems with that title (from life experiences)!!! LOL!
xoxo
