30 Words Thursdays: Winter Aconite









Implausible,

stark yellow outrider

improbably 
risking waxy nodding precision
and soft imposter spears
against the bitter possibilities of February:

baggage-free,
agenda-less;

yet we find in you

a promise.




The premise of 30 Words Thursdays is simple...


Take an image (preferably one you shot, or have permission to use).


Write 30 Words about it. No more. No less.


Post it each Thursday.
