Perseveration

Forgive me.
I'm perseverating.
Stuck for now on haiku.


Daylilies


So ephemeral.
Explode like vivid fireworks
but gone the next day.

It is alright to perseverate Meri. I am a Psych grad student so you have my permission. The lily is one of the loveliest I have seen. Your photo is exquisite and I adore the haiku. Very apt.

Fireworks indeed. This is an exquisite image, quite the opposite of the notion of perseveration.

It's full of life. As you say, it's explosive with colour.

of all the things to be stuck on haiku does seem fairly benign

yes daylilies are so ephemeral, but thankfully their explosions do go on and on for days on end

Beautiful photo, Meri. Yes gone the next day, but for a while another one takes its place. :)

Astrological Profile

Image
So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)
