Elements and Symbols

“If, as a chemist, I see a flower, I know all that is involved in synthesizing a flower’s elements.
And I know that even the fact that it exists is not something that is natural. It is a miracle”
— Albert Hofmann

Elements and Symbols

Undiscovered
Laying dormant
Recovered
By an informant

The symbols drawn
Onto the unknown elements
Before the early dawn
Possibly as ornaments
Signs of prediction
Part, of some ancient superstition

Colourful
But fearful
These elements and symbols
Remaining a riddle
But nothing to belittle
Possibly the initials
Of gods from the past
Carved into stone
For ages to last

Pink Flora

“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature”
Gerard De Nerval

Space Oddity

“This is Major Pink,
Calling ground control, over”

“Ground control to Major Pink,
We hear you loud and clear”

“Uhm, I am in a wee bit of trouble here,
It seems, my pods won’t retract, over!”

Simply Pink

Yes, we are pink
Yes, we are in sync
Yes, we may stink
Yes, it’s the odour of pink

No, we are not a missing link
No, us, you can not drink
No, we are not an inc

So, just let this all, slowly sink

Pink Flora

“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature”
Gerard De Nerval

Rhythmic

Stacked, with a rhythm
By someone, with a vision
It seems, like repetition
But it is clearly, symbolism

Pink Rose 1

A rose, painted in pink
With a most delicate ink
And only for a moment, it will remain
But your heart, forever it will stain

Pink Rose 2

Faded colour
Faded odour
Reminiscent, of summer
For it too,
Will loose its colours
And turn to slumber
When Autumn falls

“No water, no life.
No blue, no green”
Sylvia Earle

Green Taking Over

Green, is the front yard
Green, is the colour of the greeting card
Green, is the mind of this bard
Green, you cannot discard

Green, now also Red Rover
Green, like the four leaf clover
Green, is summer’s exposure
Green, is taking over

Red Rose

“A rose by any other name…”

Red Rose

A beautiful red rose
Now, fully grown
Standing, in a tall pose
Waiting, for the one it chose

“Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun”
Randy Pausch

One – Two – Fun

Red headed
Pen for a body
None too snotty
Just a little naughty
Always jolly
Is this little dolly
Ready,
For the utmost folly

Looking for a play
Sometimes, a needle in the hay
Never too long to stay
With fun in its veins
It cannot be detained
Like a hurricaine
It flees this very plane
Looking, for a new game

“Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun”
Randy Pausch

One – Two – Fun

White headed
Green bodied
One minded
Fun winded

Sitting on the sidewalk
Always on the stalk
For a little distraction
Some kind of action
Of the fun variety
With a sense of propriety
