Short but fattened with meaning. the manifestor of all things pure and natural.
umm ok well...........................................
the destroyer, the pure, the transformer... snake, flowers, mystifying appearance... great images!
Wonderful example of `imagism', representing William Carlos Williams' theory -“No ideas but in things.”
could not find the picture regretfuly but the poem made it sound quite buetifal and dangerous.
regretfuly I could not look up the picture but I was intrigued on the image played in my mind.
I have seen pictures of, and read about the nagalinga flower. It attracts snakes for its beautiful smell and drops cannonball fruits. Do not rest against such a tree-the fruits grow on the trunk. Be careful in the presence of beauty. Don't fill your basket with just one beauty.
great poem short sweet unable to look at the link but a nice descriptions thanks for sharing
The mystic element has a great intimidating force as well. It is fine work of the kind though short. But I call a spade a spade here... I wonder how the poets from beyond the Atlantic can enjoy and comment on these lines.. It is nothing but hypocrisy of the gentle readers... You may invite the English speaking friends when the themes have a universal appeal. Keep writing.
Ah with the stamen sticking out, like they are being fired, guarding the hindu Deity? I took the time to search the images. wonderful to connect something so beautiful with your Holy lord. Very captivating
Very inspirational indeed. I could smell the haunting fragrance and see the imagery.
simple yet beautiful. Love flowers, thank you for the invitation.
Wonderful piece simple and yet capturing. keep up the good work.
