one starry night
to make that one painting -
the rustling leaves
as summer draws to a close
and the green leaves turn to gold
on one starry night
so many years in the past
years rushed by so fast
a foolish girl made a wish
that could never come to pass
she would never be
Venus Anadyomene
more Pickman's model
never seen through eyes of love
always used and tossed aside
the rustling of leaves
as they crunch beneath the shoes
of a broken crone
step hobbled and hair of gray
dead dreams lie within her heart
summer draws to close
life's flame is growing dimmer
she hides in the dark
tortured by the memory
of a girl who wanted more
green leaves turn to gold
golden strands of hair to gray
no matter the shade
she was never beautiful
her heart is cold as winter
~Chèvrefeuille & Cie~

Notes:
The first Hokku was created by Chèvrefeuille. The rest of this mess you can blame on me.
Shout-outs to Sandro Botticelli and H.P. Lovecraft. Can you spot their influence?

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
