#Flower of the Day – Lotus Flower

For Cee’s Flower of the Flower of the Day Challenge FOTD.  I’ll admit, that first one looks like and alien:)  The name of this one I know because I took these pictures in the summer at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens at the pond. And..I read the tag. It is a lotus flower !!

the moment two bubbles
are united, they both vanish,
a lotus blooms

in a flash a lifespan done
the pink lotus flower mourns

A Drop of Water

a drop of water
cradled on the leaf of the lotus flower
rolling around in the sun
dancing with the wind for time
