Indigo child,
Seeking forbidden fruit
In a garden of eyes.
Knowledge grown on trees,
Showy flowers plucked
Before maturity…
Fleeting bouquets
That wither when admired
Leaving no seed.
The search is blind,
The tree of life untasted
A night bird cries…
For Jane Dougherty’s poetry challenge #30: Peacock garden
Press a button or two to share... go on, make my day :)

Sue Vincent's Daily Echo 
Dreamlike words. I like how everything is so elusive and happiness unattainable, just like a dream that brings exotic or long-for elements almost within reach then whisks them away.

Smashing verse, Sue, laden (ahem) with fruit, bursting with hidden, even harsh, meaning. Superficiality appears to be the order of the day, until I read this

Thanks Dermott, yes, the observation was a little harsh…frustration perhaps.
