Cherry

Snow white, untouched, pure and chaste, my virginity renewed during the long winter night
I wake to celebrate an orgy of creation
soft petals parting, eagerly
waiting, sweet scent of
seduction
desire
lust 
life 


Reverse Fibonacci sequence

Don’t you just love Spring? It makes the blood rise a bit!

This is a chromatically, sequentially, attitudinally reversed companion to the post and poem ‘Defiant’ from November 2019. I took the latest photo 6 months after the Defiant photo (below) and meant to post it last month, but I was in a bit of a funk then.

06/10/20: I’m adding this edit because I was caught in a little bit of literary licence by João-Maria. The tree pictured is a Pear tree. But since the title ‘Pear’ would not have offered the proper double entendre, I went with ‘Cherry’ instead! João-Maria is a poet with the heart of a botanist, or a botanist with the heart of a poet, and a good eye for pear trees!

Thank you for reading.

  3. I really like the poem; Spring is a time of volition, yearning, zest. But is that a pear tree I spy? Here in Portugal, they never blossom quite like that. They have sparse flowers, here and there, but never that many, or they are never numerous enough appear dense before the pears begin to form.

  4. It is a pear tree, you have a good eye!
    I chose to name the piece ‘cherry’, a double entendre for the poem’s message of the tree’s viewpoint.
    It’s growing in my brother’s yard and he says that it’s an ornamental pear tree. That may be why the blossoms are so numerous.

    Thank you for reading, have a great day!

  6. Thank you for visiting! I’m glad you enjoyed this post and my reading of Rachel’s poem. I’m getting chillbumps now! There are many talented writers out there, and she stands head and shoulders above the crowd. I’m honored that she re-posted ‘Elephants in the Room’ with the reading.

    Thanks again for your kind words, I’ll be sure to read your blog.

  8. The reason I like being outdoors and revisiting familiar places is that I see how things change, and sometimes notice things that had been there to noticed if only I had looked before. There are wondrous sights, both simple and grand, everywhere you turn your eyes. You just have to see them!

    Thank you for taking the time to read the post and leave kind words.
    Tim,
