Beggar's Lice

#1 Post by Kenneth2816 » 19 Oct 2020, 16:10

.First, the lush green

tendrils make

a basil rosette.

Beneath the wither

of summer

she brittles,

dispersing her little

ones, the stickseed,

onto the down

of a doe's coat

or between the

ribs of passing

corduroy,

to be reborn

as a mother on

the forest floor.

Short but never-ending cycle of a poem, thanks.

Hi Ken,

evolution of creativity

genesis -> metamorphosis -> maternity


from the forest floor
to be reborn
as mother



from maternity to eternity
