oops, sorry Cinq

Walrus, Startling poem. Arresting images. Your core colour has changed (?) or maybe it is and always has been lots of colours (?)...'Forever Sienna', 'Burnt Sienna' - there's a contrast there...(?) - I personally read 'burnt' as a deeply resonant word in the poem despite the whirlwind of valiant, action-heroine, 'Boudicca' (spelling?) type images that surround it (?)...A colourful, resilient muse for sure. Write on, miffle

Has she tried base-jumping?

Linked in my mind to 'Cement Fields' poem - Skeetr (?)

Miffle,

No my core colour has not changed. It remains Red (with a few splashes of other colours from time to time). Burnt Sienna is a very dear friend.

I see your point re: Burnt and Forever. What I was trying to convey was someone who lives life to the max, with all the risks associated; someone who is prepared, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically to put themselves out there, knowing that the price to pay for this is that sometimes, amidst the soaring highs, they will from time to time, get hurt.
But, they will always, knowingly and deliberately take these risks, because ultimately it results in deep satisfaction in the knowledge that they are truly living. Without fear, without expectations.

As an old friend said to me: 'Only those who are willing to risk not knowing the consquences, are truly free.'

The Forever, well, despite the knocks, the lows, she will always live to fight another day. Her 'core' remains in tact.

Base-jumping? I think not literally, but more than likely, metaphorically.

Will re-read 'Cement Fields'.

Thank you, as always, for your kind, insightful and thought-provoking comments.

Burnt sienna.....bronzed, clay-like resolve, constancy of spirit with degrees of vibrancy and mellow. Does what it says on the tin,

fearless

Well this poem is certainly strutting its stuff!
