Spoken fingertip softness
Bounce rational gap...

Reminds many of Adam
Some of anatomy
Some of botany
Some of iPhone
Some of Steve Jobs
Some of etymology,
But Newton of the why
And that’s phenomenology!

I admire the woodpecker  constancy
 for being admirer of botany
      in the oak branches pecking
      digging, looking for flecking
  without tiring peck,peck constantly...

Anna Atkins you may not know
but her photos were a fine show*
Some say the first female to create such art
grounding-breaking botany she did chart

We docked the ship
dropped anchor in the bay 
headed for the shore 
pulling oars all the way 
the Captain at the helm
the Scientist at his side 
the joy in his face
had no place to hide
look at the Botany 
was all he could say 
then Captain Cook said 
call it Botany Bay...

Orchid won't you sing to me, your petals blue and bright?
In botany, a rarity, an aurora in the night
And when I get to hear your voice, my ears behold the sound
Of unity in harmony, magnificence profound
O orchid, beauty self contained, when all else fades it shall remain
For though you're beauty to my sight
You run much deeper, essence bedight...

Botany

Have you had a shower?
Yes dear, and changed my t. shirt too
you see, my dear, when I was in the amazon
collecting rare flowers, the local tribe called 
me “the man who hates his face.”
Did you find a rare flower?
Yes, my lovely, I found you.
But the botanist whom I was carrying his luggage
refused to accept the human rarity
that is why your name is in posh books about
botany...

I admire the tree in silence.
The way it clings to the rock
And works its way down into the river
Down into the earth.
I think about the knowledge of man.
All the things that men have told me
about the tree – about botany or biology.
They have said this
They have said that
Words whispered into the air and gone in time.
Knowledge is worthless in comparison to beauty
This tree is magnificent
And that is enough for me....

Nature

Name me an ardent disciple to polygamy
For falling head over heels with botany.
Would you compel me to pipe an apology
For my nuptials with beauty of zoology?

Mine is an irreconcilable and sweet plethora
Which has deeply dipped my heart in flora
For, I simmer in Nature’s rippling sauna
From where sprang Earth’s teeming fauna!

Jealous Guard with inescapable capture.... 
I love you sweet Suitor, I love you Nature!
