Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ Lately, we have had endless days of rain - a few days of Spring sun and then rain and rain.
I found these rose petals strewn on my verandah steps.
The colour seemed to have saturated into a ghostly shell.
And so began a dream...

One Single Impression #140 ~ Fancy

Rain is a blessing
(Or should be)
But what if there is endless rain...
Last night I dreamt a Halloween dream
A Halloween fancy
A fearful prophecy
Tomorrow showers a new cycle of
Nature's Mysteries
Last night I dreamt
Rain became the new world power
Driving humanity indoors to enjoy
Virtual bushwalks
Virtual picnics
Virtual walking on golden sands by a blue sea
For outside
Light was grey
Sapping surface hues to skeletal pigments
Ghosts breathe here but cannot live
Last night I dreamt I was rain
Devouring colour

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Loved the last line, devouring color! That is a fantastic vision in my head from this wonderful offering! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting dreams you have! Cool poem.
never thought of rain as taking away the colors but I suppose it does os maybe it can be said that what ever the rain giveth the rain taketh away.
Halloween is about Trick or Treat.
I see here we get a Treat!
Lovely collage. The rose petals look transluscent. Your additions paying hommage to Halloween give them an unexpected flavor.
What a lovely use of the petals! And how well they blend with the Halloween idea and your words.
Happy Halloween!
"A Halloween fancy
A fearful prophecy"

Wonderful collage of the rose petals! Beautiful verses..
This was haunting and beautiful...I love what you created with the rose petals! They truly look ethereal and ghostly.
You have done some amazing things with colour in this poem.
Haunting collage and poem. They don't look like at petals at all!
I agree with Sumit! I also like "For outside
Light was grey
Sapping surface hues to skeletal pigments"
Love the use of color in your dream... and the last line 'devouring colour' was great!
Rain, you devour colour, you also give us the rainbow. Cheers!

Devouring colour
