Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

at first blush

at first blush hopeful

till the bruise stains the bounty

the blossom endures

Rory McEwen (British, 1932-1982)

I recently visited an exhibit of Rory McEwen’s paintings and I was blown away. His work is magnificent. I was really caught off guard by how much emotion a flower or a leaf or an onion (!) could convey. If you ever have the chance to see his work, take it! When I read today’s SoCS prompt word (BLUSH), I immediately thought of him.

 

 

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

Falling Through Life

Falling  

Sweet Lullabies

And a Good Night Moon

Falling

Fast Cars and Slow Songs

Morning’s Light 

Falling

Looking Ahead from Behind

Caught In Quicksand

Falling  

Moon Beams and Starshine

A Path Illuminated  

Falling

Dot Dot Dashing By

Slow Down

Falling

Jagged Edges

Cutting Deep
