yellow flower blooms
from beneath dead brown leaves
defiant beauty

cherry blossoms
Cherry Trees In Full Bloom (Japan)
You tell me you don’t believe in magic. You say fairies aren’t real. You say I need to get my head out of the clouds and see reality. I think you just need to open your eyes…

first flower
the first brave flower
peeks its head out from the snow
promises of Spring

Poppy hid herself away in the dark for so long. At first, the others had done this to her but now her captivity was by her own hand. She had to step outside and find who she was to become.
In the bright sunshine
as her name compels her to
the flower opens

Flammagenitus
“…a flammagenitus cloud in … California” from wikipedia
Across the room, hazy with cigarettes, our eyes lock. Our judgment may be a bit clouded by too many drinks, (vodka for me, whiskey for you) but at this moment we are exactly what each other needs. We make our exit from the bar and quickly check in at the hotel across the street.
fire stoked, heat builds
creates impressive display
produces dry lightning
