Green Centres

beautiful, floral, flowers, photography, poem, poetry 1 Minute 
   green centres,
      looking like 
little universes,

   something
      beautiful 
to discover.

   yellow petals 
   ring around 
green centres,

   little spiral
      galaxies
on a stem.

green may be
   springtime's
      signature.

   we see green
   emerge from
thawing mud.

   shoots reaching
   up for sunshine,
green excitement.

I make photos to make myself feel good; I share in hope of making you feel good. I do as much as I can in the camera, but it does not always end there. Part of making an image in the 21st century is processing a captured image in the computer. This is like dodging and burning in the darkroom of yesterday. (I've done that too.) I use Photoshop cc and Lightroom cc. The result is not always what I saw, sometimes more what I wish I saw. Sometimes, the resulting image is a creation more than a recording. Most of the time, I keep it believable and realistic. I have a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing. I have shared poems on the internet, to an audience with more than 150 million views and I'm considering making a selection of poems, in a book or books.

  3. As fresh as a daisy
    Freya’s sacred little bud
    May your green centres thrive

    Long live the daisy

    thriving and dancing
    in a field with other daisies
    Fragrant little galaxies

    Thriving and Flourishing

      1. Oh I thought they were Freya.’s -the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility- sacred flower speaking for childbirth, motherhood, and new beginnings.

        Still, you are welcome Murray

  4. All in the same botanical family Asteraceae (used to be called Compositae). I am delighted by your Freya poem as my new friend has a daughter called Freya – how’s that for synchronicity? And I am very fond of Brigid the goddess/saint associated with Imbolc/Candlemas/1 February when the days start to lengthen perceptibly here in the northern lands. I shall look into Freya now!

    Is your poem published, Abby? I find it very beautiful and would love to include it – duly credited of course – one day on a spring blog with writingpresence.com
