Taking inspiration from William Wordsworth and mythology, I wrote a golden shovel poem called "Daffodil." And I named the photo of the daffodil "Lonely As a Cloud."

#poetry #poem #photography #daffodil #flower #williamwordsworth #mythology #narcissus
Poem text of "Daffodil" on a flora photograph of a daffodil on a black background. Daffodil I often daydreamed as a child if I had drifted away, just wandered off in a daze, lost and lonely, could I come back changed, just as Narcissus, a beautiful Daffodil, or a floating and majestic cloud?

A dose of nature.
A dose of red.
A dose of light.
Hope,
vitality,

On this day in 1849, and at the age of 40, Edgar Allan Poe died. He was a formative inspiration to me as a writer, so I wrote the following ode as a way to honor his work.

#poem #ode #edgarallanpoe #poe #edgar #writing #writer
Image of Edgar Allan Poe with a dark gray and red gradation and text of poem called "Edgar" by T. Bartlett His ink runs dark on the page and scroll, his words lay heavy on the mind and soul, his stories bear the burden of his tortured heart, his poems echo the beat of his tell-tale art. How alive he remains after all this time, while The Raven carries his mournful rhyme.

Sunflower for your Sunday and to carry with you into Monday.

If you want to increase your focus, it's said that the color yellow helps by stimulating the brain.

When dandelions change from yellow to gray,

I love seeing the spiral patterns, aka Fibonacci sequences, in flowers. This is a young coneflower from yesterday in its natural green color and one I edited in higher contrast to more easily see those cool spirals.
