Notes About The Poem

Magnification

Close up you can see the colossal amounts of energy
it took to grow this plant from a seed
An even closer look through the microscope,
inside lies the complete genetic information
Images of texture I can almost feel
Spikes that pop up prickly come alive
I have no limits to magnification
I can see vibrant stars dead center
Elements of sunshine tan and green
Sediments of gill filaments in V-shapes
Arrows in grooves with silver linings 
Natures details to resemble filigree
Mucus glowing its sickle-shaped petal lobes
Milky sap growing within, aligning 
milk vines and perfect pinwheels 
Nature’s own flower arrangements
Under a microscope

Ink Empress December 8, 2023 at 10:39 AM Whoa you’ve done an exquisite job on this magnification prompt dear anaya, i was looking at it but wasnt sure what exactly she wants, or is looking for. Ive however written previously for an anthology on similar prompt. I really love your detailed descriptive diction and the way this flows in such a creativ manner: I believe this should do very well in the contest. Pleasure reading you always. Sending your light I Am Anaya December 8, 2023 at 10:52 AM Ink, it's plant or mineral magnified. One or the other makes for an interesting challenge!

William Kelii Kekaula December 7, 2023 at 5:57 PM A botanist with a quill for a side-kick, exceptional penning, Anaya. I could be wrong, mayhaps an astrologist or farmer-in-the-dell, if anything, a winner in my book, my friend. Aloha on this not too far from Pearl Harbor Dec 7th day, William William Kelii Kekaula December 8, 2023 at 12:04 PM It's sorta inescapable here but it does trend a memorial-like atmosphere, no gloomy faces just souls remembering. Aloha I Am Anaya December 8, 2023 at 10:42 AM I wish I could be all! Thank you, William! I read that 82 years ago, 2,403 service members and civilians were killed unprovoked. Thank you for reminding us, Aloha Anaya
