October Flying Carpet 2017

In October
The Flying Carpet
wanders gardens of autumn delight
taking solace from the chaos

Riotous begonias
before a morning of windowed frost


 A color poem of ivy


and Autumn Blaze Maple


One last heavenly morning glory
clinging to slanting shadows
 

Brave fall crocuses
transitory
giving threads of saffron
 

Intricacy of clematis
 

“Quincey” laden with fruit...
the apricot leaves making a golden
bed of sleep for winter
 

We bring the echeveria 
and the plectranthus
inside to feast on lingering bloom
 

and wish you an aspen glyph Halloween
 

Special thanks to Sialia, Sarah, 
and Gail and Zack
for letting The Flying Carpet
ripple through your morning gardens

September Flying Carpet 2017

In September
the Flying Carpet got blasted off course
by a Rocky Mountain High
 
 
Calder Mobiles suspended
in lily pond grays
at the Denver Botanic Garden
 
 
The Zeppelin Zooms
at TAXI in Denver
 
 
Wacky creativity runs amok
in a fantabulous jumble
at the studio of Susan Wick
 
 
“If walls could talk”
they'd sound a cacophony
in downtown Denver
 
 
early morning droplets
at Grand Lake
 
 
In the twinkling of an eye
The Flying Carpet believes
that there are still wondrous moments
in this broken world
 
 
Special thanks to Daniel
 
 
and Olivia
