If it’s Sunday, it’s Word Snap Weekly with my adorable friend Amanda, from Unique Art Chic.com. I enjoy this event each week, because it gives me the opportunity to share some of my photography and poetry in a creative way.
Join Amanda and I to see where your creativity takes you! Click here to see how to participate.
This week, I am sharing a “shape,” or “concrete” poem that I created in the shape of a flower. I took this photo last spring of the azaleas that grow wild here in Northwestern Florida. The pops of color are amazing. I added my poetry using PicMonkey. Although we are quite warm, the late frost we had two weeks ago may have stalled any brilliant blossoms from showing up this year. We will have to see what nature has in store for us.
Thanks for stopping by on this fabulous spring day. I enjoyed seeing you all!
Very nice. It looks like a tree or bush as well (the shape of the poem). It must be beautiful to have wild azaleas.
They seem to grow in abundance here everywhere you look. I have a delicate pale pink azalea planted in my backyard for my one grand daughter. It does have some buds. Fingers crossed. We are slowly getting spring. The weather has been so erratic. 🙂
I had a pretty pink on in my front yard but it has died. I think it was the drought. We are having very warm temperatures here, early Spring.
I saw that. We have a daughter in Valencia. You are much warmer than we are on the eastern side of the country. 😉
I like these lines
“Spring slips through
the sap of the trees, as exploding leaves”
Thank you! I am a spring person (born in April) and I always feel liberated when spring finally appears. 🙂
🙂
You have made some excellent changes on your blog. It’s nice to see these cartoon pics here.
Keep up your good work!
Thank you. I found what reflects my personality. Glad you like it!
Perfect combination of words, image and shape. And it brings the good weather with it. Thanks Colleen!
I am so glad that it brought some warmth and sun to you Olga. <3
That’s beautiful, Colleen, the shape, the words and the image. Lovely post. xxx
Thank you! I am glad that you enjoyed it. A touch of color for those who have grey skies because spring is taking too long! <3
OMG, Colleen, your photo and words make me bloom….
I love that Erika! I am happy to bring you joy! <3
Oh, yes, you do! Over and over again… 💖
A sneak peek at spring. Beautiful!
It is coming… Slowly. 🌺
Wow Colleen, such gorgeous flowers and growing wild too – just lovely!
I really love your shaped poem. I keep meaning to do more with those, they really do add another dimension. <3
Thanks Amanda. I like the way they enhance your words too.
I’ve a huge azaelea bush in view from my lanai and when it blooms it is mesmerizing.
I’m in Southwest Florida. We enjoy wonderful floral colors. You’ve showcased your beautifully in your photo. The words blend creating a very nice combination.
Thank you! It’s nice to see a fellow Floridian! I have been watching in the neighborhood and the colors are just not here this year. That lost frost got the buds I think. Hopefully, we will have better luck with the rest of the trees and shrubs. <3
No frost down here – Sarasota area – but the temps did dip a few times. I hope my orchids – a hobby of mine – come back to life. : )
I had to go and follow you! I sure want to see more of your plants and orchids! I have a ginger tropical I planted last year. I hope she blooms and reappears. <3
I have a great deal of orchid photos on my photography blog.

I shall follow you, as well, to see how much cooler the temps are up your way.
Thanks for the follow. 😄
Thank you I will check it out. The link did not work, so I will find you. <3
What a creative way to showcase your poem. Love this, the poem, & the idea of shaping it into a flower. Great job!
Thank you. Creatively is so fun. Glad you enjoyed. 💖
