Carried on the breeze. . .

Written in response to this lovely image by Jinksy at Alias Jinksy

In the shade of the autumn trees
I stand amidst the leafy bower. . .
dappled with copper, my sanctuary
from the boisterous sun, bouncing
from the surface of the windblown
water, throwing turquoise up into
my waiting eyes. I take a breath,
inhaling the scent of yesterday. . .

A lovely take on Jinksy's painting.I like the idea of "inhaling the sense of yesterday"

A delectable feast of words that gave all the colours their true worth! Thank you for playing so nicely.♥

Lovely writing.
I like the thought of 'sanctuary from the boisterous sun' - something I'm always seeking when it gets hot.

Really like this Susannah, especially: "dappled with copper," and throwing turquoise up into my waiting eyes." Wonderful interpretation of Jinksy's image. You do very well at this process.
