inspiration via poetry

i'm a true fan of poetry. i think it can be the most powerful form of inspiration.

i was listening to NPR and they were discussing how it can even be beneficial on the medical end of things. my all-time favorite poet is Emily Dickinson. I use lines from her poetry to be many of my post titles. Today's photography was inspired by her poem:

THERE is a flower that bees prefer,
And butterflies desire;
To gain the purple democrat
The humming-birds aspire.
And whatsoever insect pass,	5
A honey bears away
Proportioned to his several dearth
And her capacity.
Her face is rounder than the moon,
And ruddier than the gown	10
Of orchis in the pasture,
Or rhododendron worn.
She doth not wait for June;
Before the world is green
Her sturdy little countenance	15
Against the wind is seen,
Contending with the grass,
Near kinsman to herself,
For privilege of sod and sun,
Sweet litigants for life.	20
And when the hills are full,
And newer fashions blow,
Doth not retract a single spice
For pang of jealousy.
Her public is the noon,	25
Her providence the sun,
Her progress by the bee proclaimed
In sovereign, swerveless tune.
The bravest of the host,
Surrendering the last,	30
Nor even of defeat aware
When cancelled by the frost.

you can be inspired by anything. inspiration is everywhere, you just have to look and listen. always;L
