The Footsteps of Spring
03:45
|
|||
Nature’s unseen behemoth
Plodding inexorable
Its invisible passing marked only
By the Footsteps of Spring
Dotting the landscape
Along coastal paths serpentine
Tiny yellow patches
Quintuple inriflorescent domes
Umbel borne flowers
Like jutting floral stars
Signaling Arctopoides’ perpetual journey
Sanicle Prince, He
With every step, heals the land

Flame of the Forest
05:25
|
|||
Ablaze in the woods
Shielded from the wind
Burning en masse
Claws of fire upturned to the sky
Mucuna Novoguineensis
From the foliage, hanging
Lambent necklaces light a path
Through the tropical night
Climbing the forest, high above
Tendrils of lava smoldering
Floral embers in combustion
Cascading in brilliant clusters
Burn
Burn

3. |

Perpetually walking upon the petals of flowers
A florid reflection of its surroundings
Orchid mantis
Floral chameleon incarnate
Hymenopus Coronatus
In floral pinks and whites
Blending into the sacred world
In veneration mimicking
Hiding in plain sight
|

Stachys Olympica
05:30
|
|||
Silky lanate hairs
Silver white
Adorn the ears of lambs
Crenulate
Floral fur soft
Woundwort
Staving off the Firmicutes
Subsessile
Semiamplexicaul
Petioles about the stem halfway wrap
Ovate teeth, apically rigid
Arm the jaws of the calyx
Whose invisible rivers of blood
Flow unseen to their source
Verticillasters bearing flowers
Borne of flowers themselves
|
||||
5. |
Pelargonium Triste
04:34
|
|||
Palmately lobed leaves alternate
Upon lofty stalk the ciconia broods
Gazing melancholic at a dying world
Awaiting its passing to a greater glory
|
