Under the Brightest Summer Blues

“Even when the winds of misfortune blow, amazing things can still happen [and bloom, too].” ~ Gabriel García Márquez [and moi]

I love those words… and believe they grow truest in soil. I also suspect this belief is what keeps me photographing and poetizing blooms. Or, mayhap, I just love how good plants are at showing and telling humanity’s stories.

when it rains,

all things can shine through

the droplets

Sun-

kissed thistles

blushing and waving

under the brightest summer

blues.

stars echo

so fierily red

in a bloom

- if we are friends on Instagram, you probably already read the lived-snippets I shared with these bits and blooms. If you haven’t (and are interested in reading those words), then click here for the 1^st, here for the 2^nd, and here for the 3^rd

- on Jul 31^st, I will be guest-hosting Poets United Midweek Motif. If you wish to join in (and like poetizing ahead), the theme is “not-so-old-fashioned ‘Hobbies’”.

- on the storytelling side, the next Telling Tales with Magaly Guerrero: a Pantry of Prose is almost here (August 4^th), the theme will be “Stitches”
