I can not recall
Leaves
So green
Vibrant
Plump
With
Life and light
Vividly vibrating
With universal energy
That sets them apart
From
This world
Green
That sits
Above
Beyond
And
Before
The gloom
Of
Heavy gray clouds
Weighted
With the freshness and clarity
Of
What will be rain
Green
That has caught
My attention
And
My awareness
And
Become riveted
Within the sight of my eyes
Today
I trust my experience
To know
That
As never before
In my lifetime
I see
Green

Awesome work!!
Thank you Jim!
I enjoyed your poem. Thank you.
Isn’t it wonderful when something we see every day, suddenly becomes apparent in a whole new way. I have been savoring green lately, too, after months of no rain and fires. This is my first visit to your blog and love your poetry and photos. I have recently been adding more of my own photos to my poetry. Makes me look at them with a whole new way. Also inspires me to shoot more. Hugs, pat
Thanks Pat.

I agree with you about the effects of combining poetry with photos. I take my camera with me everywhere now in search interesting images. I love it when the poetry shows up because of a photo I’ve taken 🙂

I had a prof who always went ballistic every time I included a photograph with my poems. He said I was trying to tell him how to feel. I happen to think the marriage of word and picture is a superior experience. Here’s to us! 🙂
Thank you!
I agree with you about “the marriage of word and picture”.
It’s challenging to find a picture that perfectly embodies the words you have strung together so that the two things create harmony.
Cheers to you too!
