Our world on Tuesday

This is a year of poppies:our land
was brimming with them as May burned
into June and I returned -
a sweet dark wine that made me drunk.
(Attilio Bertolucci)



I had the poem on my mind while walking the dog in the morning and stumbled upon this poppy field.
I remember picking bunches of them as a child and the disappointment when all the petals were gone before reaching home. It is a pity that this colorful fields become very rare these days.

  10. One day I spied a beautiful orange poppy along side the road and my father chastised me for picking the state flower (Calif). That's how I found out our state flower and fell in love with orange.
