First find the Face in the Shadows?

Drifts fo petals
Among the drifts of petals, in the shadows a face appears Rumpelstiltskin to take you child away. Ah, but we know his name. We are safe as long as all can find his face.

For those who have followed my Cloud Caption Monday I offer shadows today. The iphoto  program actually labeled a shadow “unknown face” when I was getting it ready to put it in here today. I tried a quick poem in the caption, maybe you can write a poem too. Until then here is a my poem for April 15. Margo Rody’s poem Daybreak yesterday inspired me.

This Day

Still a little cold this April morning

after a warm spell the lilac

needs watering I must go out

through the dewy grass green

as the hummingbirds throat

he buzzes me enter

the back lot

the path I am now on earth

sprinkled with flower petals

a hot pink snow fall

the daybreak calls of jay and dove

soar and echoes above the apple tree

am I gardener or bride I wonder

so elegant the music

of the morning.

    1. I wondered if that images was too corny. Maybe you can come see your mom in spring some time so you can walk in petal drifts.

  6. I really like the photo with the fallen plum blossoms; really windy yesterday and mine are all getting blown away too. I also love the idea of shadows. Finding a face in the shadows is like finding faces in the clouds.

    1. Wind and shadows seem to go together. It is calmer today thank goodness. Glad your still blogging. Did you see the news article about Giant land snails in Florida?
