Hosanna: I used photos from the internet for my mosaic today 

Advent of Easter, the rituals of fasting, abstinence and more consious acts of charity, draw those faithful,  into another season of repentance and renewal.

Here in Trinidad and Tobago, the whether aggravates thirsty throats; is torrid, dry, likely to bush fires and Sahara Dust.

And yet in the mountains, savannahs, parks, the poui burst forth with its incandence of blooming, pinks and yellows, that no one can deny.

Talk what you please of future spring and sun-warm’d sweet tomorrow, here we gaze  struck in awe again and again in poui infloresence.

    I love this post, Gillena. Your imagery takes me to Trinidad and Tobago....and you've used the required prosery line so very well.
    HOWEVER, you've linked it incorrectly to Mr Linky at dVerse because when I click on it there, it says something like "oops, that page doesn't exist" so, because I know you from dVerse, I went to your home page and found your post. Could you copy the URL and put it on Mr. Linky again? I want to be sure others get to see it as well! :)

    Never seen a poui tree. Are the blossoms several different colors? Your tropical scene calms the fever I feel about the state of the world; thanks.

    I like the contrasts you present in your poem from the dry and parched to the blossoms of the poui, which I had to look up...how beautiful.

    Inflorescence is the theme perhaps, which puts us in different climes. But we are free to move, unlike flowers.

    Beautiful writing... I also like the first photo. Even in Sri Lanka, we do decorations such as these using coconut tree leaves.
