Garden Visit ~ George Washington Memorial Park - flowers in array...

Three Blooms

An inviting cluster of colors bright

Gems of Creation's abiding light

Three blooms of supernal grace

Yellow the joy of the rising SUN

Red the very blood of the pulsing heart

Magenta the splendor of spirit known

Heard be the call to heart's place

Three blooms of supernal grace.

EMERGENCE

 

...emergence... Spring... this day in May 2025...

                    

                    the rains, the sun, the bloom

                        unfolding petals of magenta

                            beheld be the supernal grace

                                Mother Earth in her gracious giving .

LITURGY

Through the winter and into the Spring

Nature and time in its vow does bring

Leaves of green in a winsome array

Fullness in felicity for what shall come our way

The morning dew and rains in libation sweet

The glow and warmth of the rising sun to greet

Within the whispers of the wind secrets be told

The buds, the blooms, in adoration to unfold

A flower to be born, from green its color to reveal

A  destiny of supernal color and beauty beyond conceal

And so herald in the rites of Spring and time 

Blooms, the liturgy, in the name of the divine.

Upon Awakening...

I, upon awakening greeted with delight

The full bloom of a Rose in the morning light

Magenta beauty in petals luxuriant and bold

And known was a story in silence told

The room alight with resplendent color divine

Such be this sweet sweet awakening mine.

Upon My Walkway Here in Tappan, New York... A Poet's Palette

a poet's palette before thee

brilliant tones of many a tree 

leaves as bright as a bloom anew

be this the magical autumn hue

feel the rapture of Nature's passion shown

in the splendor of color this moment be known

scarlet, crimson, magenta, russet, they be

gathered upon my walkway colors alight I see

the surrender of time and this season's call

the bounty, the beauty, the blessings of Fall.

Magenta

...magenta... haiku reflections...

tango of my mind

...from a palette... this firmament known...

haiku reflections

magenta be cast
from a palette of splendor
with brush strokes serene.

this firmament known
life, breath and time eternal
graced be this moment.

Magenta Mood

A magenta mood
Glade of colors luminous
Heart's pulsing passion.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

Magenta, one of the first aniline dyes,
was discovered shortly after the Battle of Magenta, 1859, in northern Italy.
The color is named after the battle, alluding to the blood shed in the battle.
When painting this piece I felt I was taken back to that battle.
