Today’s Verselove prompt was an invitation to look closely–something I find that my camera helps me do. So after a stroll through my camera roll, I found my inspiration.

Slow Motion
Fireworks explode
in greens, blues
purples
painting the sea
in still life
motion
in motion almost imperceptible
sea stirred
I remember
to slow down
and channel
my inner anemone
sunbathe in the shallow salt
water
soak up the sun
let the sea stir me into motion
And, when no one
is looking
throw out sparks
that bring
color
to the world

I love how your observations lead you to sending out your own sparks. Lovely poem.
