oh dear--where's all those wonderful pics that you sent me? I love illustrated texts. stick some in please and show us what a terrific photographer you are.
Thanks Jill, You always offer such insightful comments. I often find similar ideas to ones I am thinking about expressed in your work, so I appreciate your comments all the more. They are often helpful and give me new ideas. Thanks
This is really lovely. The photo, though simple, is actually quite stunning and the idea of the "bones of flowers" is intriguing, as Jill P. writes. Just think, when the "shrouds lift" it will be spring and beautiful and we can start fresh and anew. This piece says a lot.
I do not know of many who can layer as many levels of mystery and depth into so few words, and do it so consistently. Your work always calls me back for repeat readings, sometimes days apart, in which I see what I had overlooked before.
The very idea that flowers might have bones is appealing. I'm going to think of that next summer when my flower garden is abloom. You are a very inventive poet and photographer.
Thanks Diana, I was struck by the beauty of these fragile emblematic little "bones" I'm glad you see it too.
Julian, thank you very much! I am so glad you see my work that way. Your comment pleases me immensely. (I also often read your work more than once in order to plumb its depths.)
~juniper~ Thank you for noticing the tiny webs. I like them too.
Barbary, I am pleased at the thought of you in your garden musing about tiny bones. I don't think my little poem can hope to add more good to the world than this. Thank you.
Oh yeah, my whole yard is bones of something, lol. Hot summer has taken it's toll, and I've been feeling too puny at times to get out there and water. Nevermind my blather, it was a great haiku, Atticus.
