Featured Artist Tiffany Arp Daleo – “the lost season”

Artwork by Tiffany Arp Daleo, “The Lost Season”

“The lost season,” poem by Joni caggiano

wings of fall flew by with time, still no budding note
her hues and tints on palette lay orange and red
no painting of leaves or merging bodies in their bed

stark white, her winter attire majestic, a birch retelling
their summer of dancing keys and shades in blue
by the fire, her heart aching, amid rapt thoughts of you

brave, a warrior epochs ago, craving a mere taste of him
winter falls, riding a horse, without omen stopping by
logs on the fire, a missing season, a lonesome woeful sigh
