summer abode
lily pads form patios
lovers’ rendezvous
****
blossoms adorn
dark muddy pond
lotus greets her prince

At Carpe Diem we are inspired by a gifted poet, Lolly. You must visit her blog. I bow at the beauty this poet writes:
entwined
in white wisteria vine …
spring moon

tall stems lean over
the reflecting pool’s edge
narcissus flowers

sifting through
the personal effects
of a spider’s web
an autumn wind loosens
another anchor thread

Mmmmm…. wonderfully dangerous to me – the lotus, with all it’s spiritual and natural beauty, is such a lovely way to describe the beauty of the moment.
