The natural world has so many advantages from inspiration to health benefits. These poems that celebrate nature are an expression of gratitude toward the best gift I’ve received from exploring the majesty of this impressive world in which we live and its royal beauty, as both opened up my heart to my inner artist.
The absolutely fantastic thing about growing flowers is you love ’em up and they love you right back. It’s Mutualful!
Mutualful (Mutually beautiful)
What makes something beautiful
A reflection, it’s mutual
I love you
You love me, too
Greetings to the sun
Each day is new
Flowers… their butterflies plentiful
Coruscating around at will
Fantastic from dawn to dust
Absolutely lovely
Bright-eyed and stupendous
Reminders to us
Of what is wonderous
Last week I attended the Mark My Words opening reception at the Palm Beach Cultural Council. This art exhibit features artists in Palm Beach County that use words as their subject matter and muse, including two collaborations with Kimberly K. Taylor-Pestell and Kristen Alden from my poetry book Sage Words. A gratifying manifestation of the art of health and happiness!
When I first contacted Kristen about the book, she knew just who to call. Kimberly heard us, felt us, and hand-lettered these gorgeous illustrations for my poems “Jade” and “Dimples”.
