Dreaming of sleep

Exhaustion.
Lying beneath petals crumpled
like morning sheets,
inhaling poppy dust,
I dream of sleep
that will not come.

  2. That is one of the photos where I can only advise everybody to have a look at the original size: it is simply gorgeous!

  3. I agree with Martina: enlarged this is gorgeous. The colours are wonderful, but it is the shapes and the clarity which bowl me over.

    Good one, Chicken.

  5. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL poppies ... lovely poem that resonates mightily. There's not much more frustrating than sleepless nights ... especially when exhausted!
    Hugs and blessings,
