And Again

Sing me a flower.
Unleash fount of creation.
Revive half-dead hope.

Ugly Duckling

Puny paltry wings
Stretch. Await grandeur. Beg time.
Cygnet foretells swan.

Summer Pleasure

Summer sprinkle stops.
Grey sky peels to reveal
swirl of white. Delight!

Springtime Mystery

Bundle of green leaves
What are you becoming when
Whorls unfurl

Budapest Dreaming

Duvet bright — warms, lulls,
shields morning light. Sleep tight,
travel-weary girl.

Plant with No Green Parts

Milky mystery sprouts.
Silky, blossom-tipped stems flare,
adorn forest floor.

I took this photo a few summers ago while hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains. I assumed it was a fungus, but discovered it is a heterotroph — a plant with no chlorophyll.

The lack of need for sunshine allows them to grow in heavy undergrowth and thick, dark wooded areas. With no manner of producing their own food, they are dependent on a host plant to produce the nutrients they need.

Ghost Plant or Indian Pipe, the Names are as Fascinating as the Plant!

Black Opal

Unearthed gem treasure
Firestone surrenders light
Scatters joyous flames

Whispers of Source

Incarnate Earthside.
Dirty feet. Break heart. Forget
Starchild heritage.

Master’s Claim

Dying is easy.
Living torments spirit ’til
quiet final trill.

Frosty Fashion

Ice Queen’s newest style
Frigid gusts scatter white crystals
Fresh dusting of snow
