Hibiscus Magic Options

[Orion]

My toes didn't care
if last night's leftover rains
drenched them on this early morning

walk to the middle
of that glorious hibiscus
whispering, wooingly, to the
camera-woman,

"Put your coffee cup down - now;
pick up your camera!"

The backyard trip was
well worth soaked sandals
and feet - and ankles -
traipsing in blades,
wispy, wet, swaying.

What was this calling about?
Moved me from my cozy kitchen
to see delicate beauty
through mesmerized lens-

little bee in bee heaven,
bee toes pollen-dipped in
piles of snow-white

{click}

If a bee could have
smiled, I know this
bee was grinning for
a quick shot.

Left a wondering me -
who was happier
the saturated photographer
or the pollinated bee?

Hello Merlin,

Thank you for stopping back in to discuss this always-interesting topic. *grin* This topic is always interesting to me because it covers such a broad spectrum & within that spectrum, there are so many varying opinions from readers and writers, which in turn, can help us to learn more. We are able to learn so much from each other--esp. if we choose to share willingly without fear.

I hope to share my poetry, however it is defined, in boundaries of peace-keeping by accepting that there are and will be writers' differences of opinions. As long as the writing represents a high-quality creation, I'm usually held to the script.

By the way, I do admire 'form poetry' very much; I enjoy reading/studying it. One day I hope to understand how it is created and hope to add what I learn about it to my current knowledge about writing. I am always impressed with learning more & more about the craft/art/skill in the writing process. I appreciate your time here. Nice to 'talk' to you about this forever-interesting topic.

Regards,
Jan
