This is for dVerse and ekphrastic poetry, but also for napowrimo, where I am making a small attempt at ketchuping. (Yes, my newly invented word 😉 .)
Please do check out Fay Collins’ art. The link is under the picture of these ethereal cosmos.
The Cosmos Is Blooming!
He guffaws when I say
“the cosmos are blooming”
his science-heart filled with astrophysics
quantum mechanics and other words
equally unintelligible to me.
What does he think I mean?
My eyes feast on the purple and pink
hued flowers, softly swaying
in summer’s teasing breeze.
Fern-like leaves framing joyous visages
the flower petals silky soft between indelicate fingers
The cosmos is blooming. Summer finally arrives,
while he looks upward, expectantly.

Two ends of the spectrum. Read this and smiled!:)
I like how you phrased this: “softly swaying
in summer’s teasing breeze”
Thank you, Frank. 🙂
I love the play on the flower and the scientific interpretation. Well done!
Thank you so much, Sarah! 🙂
