Fiery Skipper on Mexican Bird of Paradise — Image by kenne
Gold flickers on gold—
skipper clings to burning bloom,
wings tight above the body.
Orange petals flare,
mirroring the desert heat,
each pulse a heartbeat.
In still summer light,
motion and color collide—
brief fire in the moment.
Thank you, Kenne, for the beautiful poem and the photo!
