hope springs eternal…

from the aged human breast
a tender shoot emerges…
hope springs eternal 🦊❤️

It is human nature to keep on hoping against all odds. This particular expression was coined by the poet Alexander Pope in An Essay on Man (1732), “Hope springs eternal in the human breast,” and very quickly became proverbial. (From Google Search)

a bolt of blue

dressed in lots of blue
from your mask down to your toes
and pretzel purse too… 🦊❤️

 

wild about amadou

called “horse hoof fungi”
but amadou is proper
from fires to sweet hats  🦊❤️




 

sharpness of dusk

fiery sun at dusk
melting its way through the trees
hot knife through butter… 🦊❤️

 

perfect shadow

the sun overhead
and the smooth sand underfoot
a perfect shadow  🦊❤️
