Flowers As Seen From Space Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

FLOWERS AS SEEN FROM SPACE

flowers as seen from Space, apricot pink orchards too

who wouldn't want that view

in a small news item I read

whole fields of orange poppies could be seen in California

recently from Space

that is something I would like to think about for a long time

to mention in my poem in hopes that it might bloom in another

century's piquant anthology

recollected as Wordsworth said

in serene tranquility

over the mountains of the Moon;

over Mare Nectaris
