A milky-bell’d amaryllis blew”

An Amaryllis
Named it, Phyllis
It may not be as strong
As Bruce Willis

But this gorgeous flower
Has all the power
To entertain me, for hours

Arid Lanzarote, one of the Canary islands off the coast of West Africa, is known for its year-round warm weather, beaches and volcanic landscape. East-coast resort Puerto del Carmen has whitewashed villas, a harbor and dive centers.

Summer
In the cooling summer breeze
All the wild flowers will breathe
Until it is time, for the winter’s freeze

Ever so bright

“Red is the ultimate cure for sadness” Bill Blass
Red
Red is my colour
Try not to follow
Red is my attitude
No intended platitude
Watch me bloom
As my nom de plume
Is Red

Ode to Flowers
Photography & Poetry
“Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower” Hans Christian Andersen
Ode to Flowers
Oh delicate flower
Quite the power
You have on
Us mere mortals
Shining in the sun
In the colours of purple
Yellow, red and blue
Quite the view
When full in bloom
Before the doom
Of withering away
But some day
You will rise again
And lessen our pain
With your marvel
When shining like marble
