Daily EarthPoem
Each weekday morning, Morning Earth subscribers receive by email a photo/poem which celebrates a gift from Earth. For several years poet John Caddy has been e-mailing morning news of the wild to many hundreds of classrooms and persons on five continents. These morning poems are archived here, with clickable thumbnails.
Morning Earth Entry 5.9.2008
(click to enlarge)

She is at first demure, and shy,
petals long, concealing.
Then the season grows, and now
the whole glade of lilies hums
for nectar and for seed, for now
white trout lily lifts her skirts for bees.

*Note: My photos are captured instants which I use to trigger memory. My short-term memory is damaged from stroke, and this is my adaptation. These are not illustrated poems, nor are they captioned photos. These Morning Earth Entries try to replay an intense moment of direct sensory experience--and a bit of its nourishment. --JC
