bold starting out strong
virgin green fresh as Springtime
to start a lineage
(Flower bud - bottom right)
flowering beauty
spray of colours brightly spun
domain of the bees
(Flower - top right)

attraction no more, fulfilled
mothering the young
(Faded flower - top left)
life cycle invoked
beginnings of a breakout
bold starting out strong
(Fruit buds - bottom left)

ReplyDeleteThe cycle of life moves on!
ReplyDeleteI like this illustration of the life of a flower, Hank!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fantastic piece, Hank! I love the imagery of the flowers as they transition through life in their life cycle. It's quite beautiful in each description, each stanza written with absolute eloquence. Great piece here, thank you for sharing!
