Flash Fiction 55 — There in my dreams



In one ray of light a dust particle sparkles in flight.
I ride on it.
In the gondolier's melody my name is sung.
I cling to a building as a speck of
cardinal red paint,
then am a thread freed from an awning
of bright aquamarine
floating in heady air
into this canal of dreams

~~~

My post written in exactly 55 words for Flash Fiction 55, now hosted by the lovelies over at imaginary garden with read toads.

    I can't think of a better city to have such a gentle colorful dream about!

    Reading your poem was like seeing Venice through Canaletto's eyes :)

    My goodness, what an interesting poem — from colour to colour and form to form.

    Your work just gets better and better!

    Blessings and Bear hugs!

    lovely imagery. I was in Venice once when I was only 15- it still shimmers in my memory bank.

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
