//// Cornucopia, of and always of // plenty, a feast who grows between // verses, harmony the weft to the warp // of melody, a spread in colors smashed // to shapes we can eat, and lost // as we were once in thought, again // returns the crisp rattle of canopy, the rich // cardamom of our willingness to wake to it //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #cornucopia #harvest #poetryofflowers // Photography by @samerica.studios .

I’ve been a writer and poet all my life, pursued poetry through a master’s degree and beyond, and now, in this chapter of life, in this creative and dynamic work owning a business devoted to wedding and event floristry, my quill pen is also a blooming stem, and I am writing the love poems and heart stories of my couples and clients as they step into incredibly significant new chapters in their lives. I am in love with and honored by this chance to write in flowers, which themselves provide another medium by which to craft meaning and invite experience (two things I hugely enjoy). Thank you all for joining me here as we write the journey of it all, as the poem verses, as the story weaves. You are part of this creative endeavor! // #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarnotes #notesfromnectarandbloom #lovenotes #poetryofflowers // Photograph by @samerica.studios 💛🙌🌸
F U L L C I R C L E // as things tend to come from time to time, is a remarkable part of life to look out for—when a string of events suddenly sings into place and a zillion details from before this moment light up with meaning for what has just emerged. . .. It’s like popping up from under water to see the crisp focus of the world held in breathable clear air all around you. It’s a passing moment, when life right now suddenly makes a lot of sense, but as one part of a bigger process, it indicates that the rest of the times that feel more like swimming in the cosmic soup, they’re actually ok too. . .. So, what am I saying? I think the more we look for what we seek, the more available we are to find it. Even in the thick of the cosmic soup moments of life. // #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarnotes #notesfromnectarandbloom #poetryofflowers .. ..

//// New moon a coin that walks // sliver side out, the smallest of ideas // made metallic in the honesty of a meadow, a handful // of beauty cured to talk in an accent you once tried // on and tore // open rooms with laughter, like peels of cloud //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #poetryofflowers #ekphrasis #poetry
//// Twin, of texture and telling the way melon // speaks, lush and lost // in being, secrets shaped like moons while // a cosmos of vanilla, lime, and mint // hurl commas as if to a parade, this // simple curl of a moment, just // lost popcorn, or citrus rind on silk //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #poetryofflowers
My friends, I just had the huge joy of celebrating a dear and just 100% remarkable friend’s wedding this weekend with some of the best humans I know (and who I used to work with at a horse ranch in the mountains of Wyoming in another chapter of life). I haven’t seen some of them in years, but we just laughed until our faces hurt and tore the night down, and I just want to note that this is what weddings do, and one of the reasons I love working them — people come together to celebrate someone they love and have lived life with, and in doing so they rekindle, reconnect, and the family grows. My ranch amigos, you know who you are, and I adore each of you. And everyone else, rock on at your friends’ weddings and know that you and your connection to them are part of the family and the promise of the new couple’s life and love together. Cheers to you @elizabethgdavis 💛💛💛 // #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarnotes #lovenotesfromnectarandbloom #poetryofflowers // Photograph: @pacoandbetty 💛
