Fiamma's umbrella
seemed like a
parachute she floated
into a realm of thick
music
where each footstep
became percussion
timed with her heart
beat. Her smile was a
secret
that turned on bright
gilded colors in the
nightworld around her.
Fiamma's inner light
was mirrored by a
flame
of wet gold
in the street ahead.
The Girl with the Blue Umbrella by Roderick Perez
Written for Friday Flash 55 - My post in exactly 55 words - for the G-Man.
(Note: This week G has renamed the prompt Friday Slash 55,
and although mine is not of a Halloween theme you might
imagine that Fiamma is out trick-or-treating if you wish.)
fiamma - Italian, meaning flame
.
Wow what a great combo ! Your image and words - Music and colors, excitement- Very neat!

Striking painting--at first I couldn't even see the figures, just the golden light pattern, which looked to me a bit like a hovering devil's face--I do need new glasses, however. ;_) Your poem gives a real feel for your character, the night, the music and the mood, all in 55 well-chosen words.
ReplyDeleteLydia....

ReplyDeleteI spent some days on a blogcation without prior notification, two of them at the Oregon Coast. I had hoped to do lots of catching up on blog reading while there, but spent most of my tablet time familiarizing myself with the new device. I apologize for not having been around your blogs. ♥
