A nonmediocre novelty lasted for relaxed nonseparative miles
as we drove past steady sunflowers who sweetly worshipped the sun
In a divided disorganized planet of perplexed savage wars
omniscient order majestically does nevertheless easily run
Multitudinous millipedes mingled in the downbelow grasses
as businesslike bumblebees hurriedly bustled in blossoms far up above
And the saintly sun’s devotees seemed to move like precision clockwork
with a passionate proclivity for life and for love

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Nice
Thank you, V! 🙂
Lovely alliteration in your poem – and spectacular photo as always 🙂
Thanks much, Scifi! Please give LM a big hug! 🙂
Hugged and cuddled 🙂
I didn’t know what half of the words meant but they rhymed very nicely.
It’s the rhyming that counts
by most people’s accounts! 🙂
Love the poem Tom! 🙂
Thank you, Jude! Keep clickin’ dose pics! 🙂
☺😊😀
very beautiful poem. I could see everything that’s happening visually by your excellent words, Thomas. Have a nice day, regards Mitza
Thanks much, Mitza! Summer went away all too quickly! Hoping your weekend is superb! 🙂
Beautiful poem Tom and beautiful mandala in the center of the sunflower! 🙂
Thank you, Marcela! Yes, it is a lot like a mandala, isn’t it! Hoping your weekend is great! 🙂
Your words paint lovely images, Tom!
Thanks much, Sandy! I hope the brush doesn’t run dry too soon! 🙂
Not likely, Tom!
Excellent . Brilliant photos. For some reason it won’t accept my LIKE!
Thank you… and that’s weird about the LIKE thing! 🙂
I think this is perfect, and beautiful, “basking” in the title immediately made me think of the sun, and then reading “omniscient order” and “saintly sun’s devotees … like precision clockwork” and “for life and for love”… and lovely alliterations all along, plus the photo. Wonderful post! 🙂
So important to have fun through it all!
Love your photography. What kind of camera/lens did you use? Beautiful backlight, colors and I always love a nice example of Fibonacci sequence. The symmetry is … soothing.
