Heroic Pink

There is a brave new shade;
coming flush of innocence 
made complete. Color 
stretched globally, wielded 
with a twist; juicy mix 
of wicked and meek.

Archetype hues conquer 
celebrated softness, embody 
giving and release. Rampant
sunset, blush without apology; 
semi-divine pink 
of Amazons and queens.

Excellent read by R.A.D. Stainforth...in a slightly different venue...

Shoot

Dusk is recommended

for modest petticoats.

For best light, wait for the sun

to leave its comfort zone.

Capture rhapsody

in more pixels than God.

Press your head against the earth.

Feel the rhythm.

Coax summer percussion.

Join the conga.  Be seen on the street.

Peonies wear long-stemmed heels.

Ants pluck them tom-tom pink.

Look deeper than June,

past chlorophyll and bees.

Stop searching for color.

Think dappled things.

Roses strut runway red.

Shoot them in monochrome.
