Hi Lori & all,
I would like to nominate Snow's poem "Dance of the Crinkled Veils" for the IBPC November competition.
I think it's absolutely lovely, creating incredible imagery in the mind's eye, so delicate & vivacious.
It can be found here:

Cheers,
Syl***Dance of the Crinkled Veils by Eira NeedhamBeneath a screen of stratus shade
she changes into citrus hues
as breezes fan and serenade
her;
ballet pointes battements tendus.
Her rustling tutu riffles, swirls
chartreuse with russet layered hems;
soft flurries tousle chestnut curls
adorned with crimson clustered gems.
She sheds her veils in lento time
-- pianissimo they pirouette;
her vibrant beauty, still sublime,
enshrouds terrains a la georgette
Diminuendo: standing bare
she silhouettes the dreary skies.
Soon frost will crown bedraggled hair,
his spangled shawl around her thighs.
With lofty body proudly posed
her feet secured against each storm,
she wavers endless arms, exposed
‘til emerald ruffles dress her form.
