Poem: Persistence 📸: Blossom Anybody else having trouble keeping track of all the prompts. 😆 #photography 📸

Persistence

A flower does not ask
only blooms 
or shrivels in neglect.
A delicate beauty
stronger than I.
Without tears
no cries for the heavens.
Lacking voice
to curse the soil.
Perseverance.
Roots burrow deeper
stem stretching further
accepting bee, ant, or wind.
A flower remains
emblematic of beauty
Its persistence forgotten.

Persistence A flower does not ask only blooms or shrivels in neglect. A delicate beauty stronger than I. Without tears no cries for the heavens. Lacking voice to curse the soil. Perseverance. Roots burrow deeper stem stretching further accepting bee, ant, or wind. A flower remains emblematic of beauty Its persistence forgotten. -C. Wend

Lovely poem, Chris. I find what works at least a little for me is to save the weekly #ECK prompts that Robyn posts: bsky.app/profile/hand... At least gives some structure to it all. For the many many many other feeds, a bit of searching can usually identify a list, often monthly, to save.

It helps, but I don't always follow my own advice. 🤪

The hardest advice to take is our own.
