Next in #nativeplants #nationalpoetrymonth: "Ghost-Flowers," by Mary Thacher Higginson, celebrating Monotropa uniflora (ghost pipes).
"No Angelus, except the wild bird's lay,
Awakes these forest nuns; yet night and day
Their heads are bent, as if in prayerful mood."

#NationalPoetryMonth Day 4: LOCK
The lock on my phone
Scans my face
To see if I’m still me.
But at night,
Half asleep,
When I pick up my phone to see the time,
The lock doesn’t work.
My phone only recognizes
The mask I wear
During the day.

Arabian nights
Lie back, my love,
Close your eyes
Calm your thoughts
Let me tell you a story
Of long ago
Of heroes and pirates
Daring deeds
and treasure
That will keep us safe
Till the morning sun rises
Banishing the night
