"New beginnings and new shoots
Spring again from hidden roots"~Robert Graves(Poem in Alt)

#Marigold #YellowThu #Poetry
#FlowerReport #EastCoastKin #photography #photographer
#Art #BloomScrolling #flowers #PhotographersOfBlueSky #FlowersOnBlueSky #PhotographersUnited

A golden marigold shines in the sun. Accompanied by a poem by Gobert Graves called

Marigolds

With a fork drive Nature out,
She will ever yet return;
Hedge the flowerbed all about,
Pull or stab or cut or burn,
She will ever yet return.

Look: the constant marigold
Springs again from hidden roots.
Baffled gardener, you behold
New beginnings and new shoots
Spring again from hidden roots.
Pull or stab or cut or burn,
They will ever yet return.

Gardener, cursing at the weed,
Ere you curse it further, say:
Who but you planted the seed
In my fertile heart, one day?
Ere you curse me further, say!
New beginnings and new shoots
Spring again from hidden roots.
Pull or stab or cut or burn,
Love must ever yet return.

"White dazzles my inner divide,
Black thrown in with my unruly side,"~Hazel Durham(Poem in Alt)

#Coneflower #Wildflower #Classicmono
#FlowerReport #EastCoastKin #Poetry #photography #photographer
#Art #BloomScrolling #flowers #PhotographersOfBlueSky #FlowersOnBlueSky #PhotographersUnited

A black and white coneflower glows in the morning sun. It's soft shadows contrast the coming day.

Accompanied by a poem by Hazel Durham called

Black and White

White dazzles my inner divide,
Black thrown in with my unruly side,
My parents wave me a lingering goodbye,
They have always nurtured my childlike soul,
As I try to fly from my warm nest,
To accomplish and try to be the best,
In a world full of colour so bold,
I'm painted black and white,
Standing out for all the wrong reasons,
I dare to fight,
I always daydream in multicolour scenes of joy,
Living is a struggle with silent screams of turmoil,
Stirring the concoction to the boil,
As i listen to remarks that stick permanently,
I try and climb to a great height,
To discover a view, that I can never see,
I bounce back into a fantasy of nature holding my hand,
Accepting my limitations,
Tasting the sweet prospect of finding words a sensation,
Black and white finds the curious light,
That shimmers with substance and dances across the page in ink,
I cross a a wide bridge that is my link,
To dissolving the empty divide,
Like the certainty of the incoming tide.

"WERE you but lying cold and dead,
And lights were paling out of the West," ~William Butler Yeats (Poem in Alt)

#Stunday #Dahlia #Poem
#FlowerReport #EastCoastKin #photography #photographer
#Art #BloomScrolling #flowers #PhotographersOfBlueSky #FlowersOnBlueSky #PhotographersUnited

A lone dahlia looks forelorn as it knows it has bloomed and now only fade. The amber glow of the sun behind its petals.

Accompanied by the Poem by William Butler Yeats called

He wishes his beloved dead

WERE you but lying cold and dead,
And lights were paling out of the West,
You would come hither, and bend your head,
And I would lay my head on your breast;
And you would murmur tender words,
Forgiving me, because you were dead:
Nor would you rise and hasten away,
Though you have the will of the wild birds,
But know your hair was bound and wound
About the stars and moon and sun:
O would, beloved, that you lay
Under the dock-leaves in the ground,
While lights were paling one by one.

The old Lucky Baldwin estates always seem spooky in the fog. Are you the nightmare looking in, or is it looking at you?
