Summertime - Every flower has a spirit.

If I had not gone
     in the garden
          I might have
              missed the jewels
                        within my vision
                                      calling me 
                                                 to come closer


     sensuality awakened
            to a strange seduction
                     from the heady fragrance
 
            by the velvet petals
                  with slender stems 
                          twisting through time,


  moving in a spiral 
         with flame imbued faces
               glowing in a crimsoned sky.

  12. Hi Belinda:

    Belinda Munoz to Joanny,
    I tried to post a comment on your blog 6 times, and somehow,
    it kept kicking me off. Hmmm...anywya here's what I would've posted:

    Joanny! Exquisite words and images, as always! Your post is a work
    of art and I would love to see these images in an exhibit.

    I'm bummed that I couldn't leave that comment on your site 'cause I

    Belinda

  18. Janis Joplin, Summertime thanks!!! I listened to it the other day also. I went to an art gallery, where they expose (and sell) some paintings she did. She did not do much, but she made some really nice ones, including (when she was around 15 I believe) a portrait of her sister. Of course, they sell only copies now (signed by some family member). The same thing with some Jimi Hendrix paintings. So… all this brought me back to a nostalgic internet Woodstock tour.

    I saw your comments on my blog and here above. Yes, there have been problems with blogspot again. My greatest shock was of course when my blog completely disappeared for some 24 hours. The uploading of photos was out of order for a couple of hours only I believe. I saw also that the “followers” disappeared for a while; they also came back. All this of course without explanations and no help desk…

    Regarding the comments; on some blogs, I couldn’t comment either. They ask you to identify with a Google-account and when you do, nothing happens… until I tried to NOT ask to “stay signed in”… and then it worked.

  20. A beautiful poem accompanied by beautiful flowers and inimitable human degarradora voice of Janis Joplin. Lovely way to start the summer. A delicious post.

  22. So beautiful Joanny... sorry I've not been by in a while.

  23. These images have inspired some complicated emotions. It feels like the artist was not in a simple mood, and perhaps not in a happy mood. Your post is pure perfection.
