Mariposa Lily - A River of Stones

as gaudy sunflowers swing and sway above her
shouting "Me! Me!"
shy Mariposa raises her face to receive the sun's kiss

A River of Stones

    Beautiful, Barb. It is years since I've seen a Mariposa, - we had them in the sagebrush above the farm, but even there they were rare and cherished.

    Another beautiful flower I am looking forward to seeing someday!

    I had to laugh when I read this. Gaudy was a common word in my growing up life, but I haven't heard it in a while.

    Hi Barb,
    I'm enjoying your brief but exceptional posts and photos lately. I love the expressiveness of these short poems, and coupled with the gorgeous photos, well, they are pure art!

    Thank you!

    What a beautiful flower. I haven't seen one in real life so I don't know what size it is. I love the way it has green around the central stamens.

    That's a lovely flower and an insightful thought, Barb. I like it when someone takes time to notice things that most people miss.

    I don't know the Mariposa but I've always thought that sunflowers are very 'Me!Me!'flowers
