Delightful Petals

Egon Schiele, Field of Flowers (1910)

delightful petals
in a hungry rusty red
and burnished gold lush
flowers bursting with joy dance
and sway in an unseen wind

Melissa Lemay’s challenge: For today’s prompt, I’d like us to explore some of the landscapes Schiele brought to life in his paintings. Choose one of the artworks in this post, and compose a poem in any form of your choosing. Incorporate details of the place or scene, even if you don’t write your poem specifically about the work.
