At the farmers market
Fresh produce have we
Organic options too
Fruits and vegetables
Oh so good for you
Nutrition at its finest
Comes at a hefty price
But defrays the cost of disease
Which really is quite nice

Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge (FOTD)

Mingle with ocean breezes
Garlic and basil
Waft from balconies ajar
Signaling time for dinner

rivers and lakes
Glide smooth on calm waters
or leave behind wakes
Shoreside observers
find themselves feel
the gravitational pull
of a boat’s appeal

The featured photo was taken at beautiful Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. The bronze sculptures are collectively called “The Saint James Triad” by Richard McDermott Miller (1922-2004).
A mind well nourished
Quietly observes
Its inner voice heard
Its own nature examined
Thoughts flow in turbulent waters
Snatching at bits of light
Insights bloom into truths
Each a unique flower
Perfectly placed in a creative bouquet

Though I’m not a city player
Cherished time spent lost in nature
Brings a sense of isolation
Though I’m not a city player
I seek urban stimulation
