Optimistic in nature

Does not mean roseate

For reality may

Introduce caveat

Of the need to remember

Many times of ill fate

While never forgetting

The good we can create.

Merriam-Webster’s word for June 10, 2018:

Roseate

Echium judaeum (Photo: Amitai Asif)

As you walk in the mountains

In wild meadows and deserts

O’er Rocks

Towards the Sun,

Hear the whiskery stalks’ whisper:

“You have seen,

I have grown,

Now be gone.”

Fun fact: The blooms of the Echium Judaeum change color after pollination.

Half-wildling

Half-tame

She sometimes

Knew her name.

One moment she’d hiss

The next she would purr

To allow or dismiss

You from stroking her fur.

A trick elicits grins by design

But the smirks are clear sign

Of those who won’t admit

The high cost of deceit.

There’s a path in the park

Lined by mulch from trees past

So that every step presses

What had grown,

What won’t last.

Be it under

Or over

Be it florid

Or plain

It is best to not whelm

With ill-deeds.

Just refrain.

And the artichoke blossoms

You just know that the future

Will taste pretty awesome.

Not all that splashes

Is worthy

Not all that glitters

Is gold

Beware those

In deepening swamps

Who won’t ethics uphold.
