I dream in brown

muds sticks everywhere
the walls, the floor,
seeping through that door
I dream in brown
shades of which keep changing
dry to wet and back again

"I am planted in that soil-
that earthy scent of you
pleases me no end-
nothing covert about it"

Very well put!

Not only planted, but firmly rooted, perhaps.

I love the 'speed' of this poem - 'the walls, the floor,
seeping through that door' - Wonderful words!

Excellent use of covert. I especially loved that last stanza. It brings everything full circle. Have a nice night.

oooohhhh...that earthy scent of you. I FEEL that.
I have been following you for some time and I have seen this incredible emergence of sophistication in your style. Well done!
