silent beneath the trees, green
and brown, purple, yellow
and green again bright as sun-gleam
vines trailing last year’s wisdom
in leathered leaves and new
shoots of upright quivering
possibility, periwinkle stars open
or coiled for some tomorrow
no one sees but me
and you
NaPoWriMo Day 18. Off-prompt after a sun-filled, flowering weekend.
Graceful Press Poetry 
Lovely. I love “periwinkle stars open
or coiled for some tomorrow
no one sees but me
and you”
I suppose periwinkle can have multiple meanings here.

Thank you. I should have posted a picture I took while I was studying my backyard periwinkles (vinca vine). I’ll get it off my phone one of these days.

Periwinkle are among my favourites! In my mind as I’m reading this, I’m imagining the corresponding pictures and I can almost smell the fresh earth. As I’m sure you would expect, I love the “quivering possibility” line break, also the “vines trailing last year’s wisdom” line.
