peeling bark...


I have always been enchanted by the multiple layers of beauty
of peeling bark...
new beauty...
almost every day...

through sun and shadow...


Shaddie is a paradox...

she can wait forever at an open door
deciding whether she wants
to stay in or go out...
the halfway option can often last 15 minutes or more...

and yet,

when need and curiosity kick in...
her determination in her movement
is unmistakeable...

plant with attitude?...


I passed this plant twice on my brief walk recently...
there and back...

each time it struck me
with impressions and symbolism...

poor plant...so alone...

but maybe the plant enjoyed
being grounded in its own special identity...

with no competition...

Auroras and Blossoms...



Was it only May 5 when I featured on the Auroras and Blossoms Poetry Journal blog...HERE 

There is a small hope my poetry may travel and reach someone's soul...
