April fool
I am an April fool
dwelling in bright uncertainty —
hope strung sparkling across
the teeth of darkness —
drinking from the world's
elusive green whorl.

Fantastic images - the whorl of pattern, the green...
along with the words suggesting an environmental connection with the world's green.
J'adore ces deux photos !
Elégance , dynamisme ...
A fool, believing in bright uncertainty - a wonderful way to look at it!
"hope strung sparkling across
the teeth of darkness —" fantastic line in a fantastic poem!! Great photos. Did you touch these up any?
Welcome back MB! And with what a flourish you've returned. I so love the poem and images of the palms. I would love to quote the poem on 100 if that would meet with your approval.
Me too!
Clever of you to yoke Palm Sunday and April foolery.
Marja-Leena, I can't imagine not having a connection with the world's green!
Jean, merci beaucoups! Ces deux sont peut-etre un tout petit peu comme les votres, deux etudes de lumiere?
Pauline, a sense of humor is a necessity!
Pat, thanks. Not really - a little sharpening for these lower resolution files, that's all. I knew when I took them they could turn out well. Looking at things in the right light makes all the difference...
Bitterroot, thank you, and by all means.
Marly, the wonder of poetry is that it makes it possible to point out that it's all yoked in the end! (Yokes and yolks... )
Beautiful light and depth in the photos! And your poem is wonderful -- I especially like the line "I am an April fool dwelling in bright uncertainty"
not an april fool
this is all sound to me
great words and pix
thank you
"I am an April fool, dwelling in bright uncertainty! - that will stay with me, I think, along with the fantastically bright, detailed, enticing images.
Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.
Nice!!
Yeah!
Joy to look at those whorled leaves..
happy birthday!!
Clare, the light is what drew me to those leaves. Thanks!
Floots, thank you. I'm still looking over my shoulder.
Jean, something of a meditation of sorts. Thanks.
zhone, well said!
rdl, thank you!
Dave, oh good. I'm glad you thought it worked.
Gautami, aren't they joyful? Those seedlings were breathing green!
Susangalique, it's not today, but thank you all the same!
I feel the peaks and troughs of this.
Glad to find you here again! Hope you got warm enough to tide you over for a few more weeks!

I've spent the day drawing and painting palm trees and I check in here and voila, palm trees.
Never ending beauty.
I love the poem, but it was the pictures that actually struck me. they, well, rock!
