all-at-once color
riots, as a child
enters a Rilke poem
as isolated moments of petals
opening until
those moments carnival
into over
arching profusion -
in a second a single simple scene
dissolves
& earth
a blazing night
sky's
reversal
Blooming beautiful, Ms.M.
I love Anon's vision of the flowers as stars, a mirror of the night sky. Wonderful.
My somewhat less poetic mind just sees an orgy of rampant floral rutting all over the landscape.
Pretty, though.
Splendid poem, Anon! xxoo
Thank you, Dive. Anon thanks you, too. It HAS been an orgy of blooms this year.
Oh, how pretty -- stone fruits and apple blossoms, maybe?
So beautiful. And no topless maids, which makes it infinitely superior to where I am.
Karin, I think they may be apple and cherry blossoms. I love when the petals look so delicate.
Margaret: Just boring blossoms here; nothing as exciting as pink vans of topless maids.
I'm glad they don't shriek. Being noisily beautiful is fine. These are lovely.
Margaret, where are you? I read today about topless book clubs...
Petrea: I like noisily beautiful also.
So now there are topless book clubs, too? The heat must be affecting people in strange ways....
Here's the link, and be forewarned: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/05/topless-book-club-new-york-photos-nsfw_n_5267320.html
Well, I guess you could say those are "blooms and blossoms" of a different sort....
So beautiful flowers!
There is a lack of flowers in my garden... The ants are so hungry around here...
It's too bad the ants leave you with few flowers! I hope more will bloom for you during the season.
