Maybe the movements in space will make my orchid bloom again. It’s been four years.
I nurtured and waited 7 years for this orchid to bloom.
Reblogged from today’s Poetry Almanac:
The first of two powerful solar storms hit the Earth on this date in 1859. It became known as the “Carrington Event,” after amateur astronomer Richard Carrington, who witnessed the solar flares through his telescope outside London. When the geomagnetic disturbance reached Earth, telegraph wires began shorting out, shooting streams of fire and igniting telegraph paper in North America and Europe. Compasses were useless because the Earth’s magnetic field had gone haywire. The northern lights were seen as far south as Cuba and Jamaica, and the southern lights — aurora australis — were seen in Santiago, Chile. In some places, the aurora was so bright that birds began chirping in the middle of the night because they thought the sun was rising. The Carrington Event was by far the strongest geomagnetic storm ever recorded:…

Skippy John Jones and the blue-eyed view

I’ve never seen a blue-eyed owl…

lives only on the internet… like the blue feathers

these irises were human before being pasted here…
Enjoy the illusions of mystery and magic.
Conjure good fortune and wisdom.

Who’s angry at the writer?

Katerina Babanofsky are you out there? I miss you……..
My family members
get incensed by my
poems, photos, and anecdotes,
used without permission.
What I saw was
extraordinary beauty,
extreme honesty,
divine insight.
The publication
does not bring fame
to me or them.
It is a gallery,
a record of a telling moment.
Just like “Spoon River Anthology”
was a gallery
for Edgar Lee Masters.
The Illinois characters
based on the tombstones
made those town’s people angry too.
Did the best-selling book
make them jealous?
Or were they upset
at the mention of their names?
Was Masters a grave digger?
Am I a property thief?
