A little sunflower poetry

Posted by angeka on July 6, 2009

A perfect beauty of a sunflower! a perfect excellent lovely sunflower existence! a sweet natural eye to the new hip moon, woke up alive and excited grasping in the sunset shadow sunrise golden monthly breeze.

Excerpt from Sunflower Sutra, Allen Ginsberg

John calls this our summer Christmas tree.

John calls this our summer Christmas tree.

You’re expected to see only the top,where sky scrambles bloom, and not the spindly leg, hairy, fending off tall, green darkness beneath.  Like every flower, she has a little theory, and what she thinks is up.  I imagine the long climb out of the dark beyond morning glories, day lilies, four o’clocks up there to the dream she keeps lifting, where it’s noon all day.

Sunflower, Frank Steele

And this is our sunflower forest

And this is our sunflower forest.
