Poetry is a mystic, sensuous mathematics of fire smokestacks, waffles, pansies, people, and purple sunsets. Carl Sandburg PURPLE PANSIES A pensive-pansy bouquet, vibrant diffusion of lot, Borscht belt, Catskill-sunshine core, platonic petals of thought. Purple pansies are childhood, of God’s wide-eyed creation, innocence in royal cloak, a roused imagination. Deft purpleness recollects, not grandma’s frilly feast days - a sixty’s mod Easter dress, painted nails of royal praise. Fresh fairyland apogee o’er green-sea, circular bowl. Petal’s shades of light and dark - a poet’s purple, vibrant soul. 6/1/2022 Purple Flowers Poetry Contest used Rhymezone and HMS

Where do all these beautiful phrases and this exquisite creativeness come from, a heart of faith, a love of nature and a combination of the two. Hugs, Blessings, Jennifer.
