Time-Traveling Petunias



Creation of tropism, choices 
And rare rejoicing voices in
Light, tolerated a
Certain term in 
Thermal eddies, violate entropy.
Virtual, anomalous, even
Petunias appear astonished
Here from points past--
Real, suddenly somehow
Like us, here and now.

  1. Wow! The petunias are beautiful, and, by the end of the poem, triumphant in their existence! :)

  2. A truly beautiful flower,a rebirth from points past, and a comforting reassurance that they will be here in the future......

  4. Michelle, Arleen, thank you both! the gradual or sudden progress of all things into the future is fascinating. Every who has worked hard on its who and, no matter what our birthdate, is as new to now as you or me!

  6. What an exquisite blue! The petunia flows from that plant stand. Definitely not a still life. I love your idea of violating entropy.
