POPO2024 Day 9

Posted by Lisa or Li on

09

So many thoughts cavort,
yet this morning few wish
to volunteer to tumble out
line up in any orderly fashion
from realm of pinballs
and distraction.
As usual, I use nature as bait.
Look!  The sulfur cosmos
is in full bloom!
Now wait.  They line up 
onto the blank slate.

    Wonderful artwork and a powerful poem Lisa. I like your last lines…that suggest that nature at least offers a sense of order.
