Flowers from flower thoughts
Noticing and taking notes on Flower Dimensions
As it turns out, I had Covid, not just your common cold. Quite the “invigorating” experience… I was zoned out for a few days and drenched in sweat! In any event, I’m all better though a bit cautious about claiming to be 100% cured… but hey, I am on the other side of it.
Here, more of the Flowers — and I’ll return to reading my poems here, very soon… it is interesting to experience the work without the intervention of my voice I imagine. Or I would hope! So here goes… but soon- -I’ll be back in that saddle of speaking the text aloud — one way or another. I do feel it adds a dimension.
