dancing round indignity

who's reflection is this i see
staring back at me....
forged in the flames of adversity
whispering ink leaking past blots
scarlet threads woven intricately
through portals of  complicity
machinations of another time and place
laced within roots of strangling tendrils
mutated pretty posies succumb to history
dancing round the fire of life's indignities

Magnificently penned, to say the least. I love the breathtaking imagery and perfect words you employ. Bravo!

Resilience forged and described in style and eloquence by the queen of words.

Oh I so liked this one... great piece thank you for sharing.. Keep up the good work :)

[Lyn Anderson]

A lovely piece. Great imagery, timing, and flow - One tiny question about the opener Who's or whose? Either way, a beautiful poem.

[B-poet]

Loved the eloquence & written imagery you've conveyed here Frieda. Great work. An intriguing read. :)

[Diana]

It is hard to recognize ourselves sometimes, particularly after a fall...

"mutated pretty poses succumb to histories"- really enjoyed that line...

[Troy Henson]

Past instances sometimes hang on like parasites and often cloud us, our judgement, our self worth. Push on Frieda. The cold will always darken our moods but when you see the light follow it.

A dance we all must endure and accomplish my darling, well done, good read.

[David Scott]

It is a dance indeed and the fire is very hot...
What else could one do? Lie down and melt away or wander off into the cold darkness?
I think you have it right here Frieda!

You are the personification of dignity, my dear friend and muse. History is a scary place to visit, maybe that's why we don't heed it, and ultimately burn ourselves by repeating it. I'm sure the circumstances surrounding this write were not ideal, but I do sense perseverance in these words, which I hope is a sign of things to come. You may be away from us these days, but you're never alone. Love and hugs to you...xo
