All encompassing
Brand names, places, music a
popular icon
Written for Chev's CARPE DIEM #223 with prompt - Lotus and shared with Real Toad's Open Link Monday
Heard it used tons as brand names and such, is sure a sight to see.
ReplyDeleteit is beautiful and serene. probably why it has a position named after it too...smiles. and a car...which is an interesting contrast
ReplyDeleteyes it is beautiful....
ReplyDeleteWonderfully done
ReplyDeleteLove this flower...I'd add - open to Light...
ReplyDeleteI sense an uneasiness in this poem between the beauty of the image and the commercial use of it. You leave the contrast there, unresolved like an upnote on the end of a symphony. Nice!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful as to be taken by the whole and made iconic. isn't that the rub?
ReplyDeleteA pretty poem with a pretty picture for us today. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBTW, in Texas we would call your Lotus Flower a Water Lily. We have a lot of them, they are mostly yellow in color, a few are pink.
..
:) Thanks for writing a beautiful poem on our national flower......
ReplyDeleteLotus as a brand name: take a good thing and run with it!
ReplyDeletePerhaps a Lotus
Awesome series ... on a wonderful creation of the Creator.
ReplyDeleteSo many meanings, the lotus has. Serenity comes from just looking at it. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely work for a deserving flower.
ReplyDeleteThe commercial use of a Lotus sure must have tainted it slightly...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tribute to the Lotus
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lotus!
