Hopes for the blog:
offer up the wild intersectedness of lived experience and engage others in creative, expressive, perhaps irreverant, hopefully playful, and respectful encounters....
enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness

Tulips


pink bells 
silently
pealing in all 
directions
a delicate sway
leaning  into velvet
stillness
almost touching
down

  1. a convergence of an image on a card sent to my son and a glimpse of a swath of flowers heavy with the melt of cold in this strange niagara springtime

  2. 3000 square feet of land and one lone purple tulip. I'd think poetically about that but the squirrels would probably read it and eat that last bulb.

  3. A beautiful image that must be conjured as none such exists in the jungle where I live.

  5. Tell me your unconscious (or even your conscious) ensured that the poem resembles a tulip - love it :)

  6. WM- loved the image you have offered and can't help but agree with your assessment of the squirrel's relationship with tulips... or poetry.. or both! you always bring great food for thought. thanks
    Mr.C-funny how i take these flowers for granted!! your jungle seems to have a wonderful beauty all its own if your images are any indication.
    LIfeisnotreal-thanks for the kind comment.
