Design by nature

Design by nature

A Poem by Kelly Scheppers

I caught a perfect raindrop, sitting upon the petal of a succulent.

Design by nature

 

 

a dulcet rain

begins to fall

 

an orb

of absolute precision

is meticulously cupped within

the concave petal of

a succulent

 

unequivocally designed

by nature.

It was said that nature knew before it designed anything how form would shape its world. Like a poem unwritten living in the soul awaiting its day of arrival.

Love,

A most lovely analogy...thank you, Alfred!
metaphorically speaking I had visions of a sweat drops falling on cupped breasts, for breasts and succulents are both smooth and nice to look at and are both by design! lovely write!

I guess I am too mesmerized to describe the beauty of Nature you have projected here through this beautiful amalgamation of your photography and those soothing words.
Absolutely made my day Kelly.

Thank you so much, Daisy! Nature affords us so much beauty, all we need to do is take notice!
Your words fit so perfectly with the photo that it feels to me you wrote the poem on the photo rather than writing the poem and then finding the appropriate match.

Nature's design in everything is indeed beyond compare.
I loved reading it. Your words give a beautiful touch to the reader.
