window frame
of morning
buzzing with
a micro landscape of
innuendo
a ledge
divides and
multiplies
composed
poised
nonchalent
ruffle of a smile
a little figure
sheathed in
elfin threads
elfin glad rags
she could be happy
but her eyes
seal
the secret of
her frozen moment
all I see
in my moment
is
a young girl
framed
in but not of
my scraps of autumn
oddments of the colours in my life
beyond
our ledge
divides and
multiplies

NOTES
This is one of several little whimsical figurines on my bedroom window ledge.
Outside, autumn days, autumn lights are closing in.

What a great way to have something that separate you from the outside... she is almost like a guardian angel.
Wonderful photo, and wonderful poem on many levels.
Lovely!! I agree she looks like a guardian angel :D
This is a whimsical delight, Gemma. It has been great to have you participating in April Poetry month with us in the Garden. I have so enjoyed reading your poems.
Quite elfin. She makes me smile.
She is ethereal but you also make her real through your words - beautiful photo and language. These words will stay with me a while:
"my scraps of autumn
oddments of the colours in my life
beyond"
Thanks for sharing.
Autumn? That's my favorite season. You brought this to life.
I love the figure, and the colours of the autumn light beyond the window. I really enjoyed your poem as well.
What a great shot. And LOVE those "scraps of autumn
oddments"
Wonderful photo which just hints at the 'beyond' and great line about here eyes sealing 'the secret of her frozen moment'
I like, "a micro landscape of innuendo" and "scraps of autumn"--such great phrases that add so much here!
Your figure seems like a bit of spring framed in autumn. Her eyes are eternally captured in a moment..I wonder about her view. Lovely poem
