My foxtrot-words
in a fitful frenzy leaped
into a frosty dizziness-
they would have been there
sans hues of life forever
had they not fallen
on the lap
of daffodil memories-
I feel them there gestating-
here I am marking time
for their ‘fractal flight’ home**-

I loved these words for themselves, before I saw the picture. In the light of that, they take on a further level of meaning. Either way, arresting and vivid.
I’m here loving your introductory “f’s”, Summana. And those ‘daffodil memories’ may save our sanity.
Thank you for being here, it’s been a long time since we have read your words here. Thank you too for peeking in on me.

“had they not fallen / on the lap / of daffodil memories-” – wonderful!
O, thank gods for daffodils! And for the real skill of leaping!
This is absolutely gorgeous Sumana! Your poem leaps off the page into hearts! I love it!
A delightful take on the art … and a joy to read.
