APRIL POEM-A-DAY

Day 21 – under the microscope

Macro photography: God
in the details

What a discovery!
An ant on a flower -
a moth in a ball gown
of crocheted lace -
a harlequin bug
magnified to beauty -
a nail in an elm’s trunk -
cobwebs – and new
versions of old  junk
where before
the flowers, the succulent,
trees and bark, the pile
of stuff, appeared
as items, were filtered
through
the lens of largesse, now
looked at as access
to a new universe.
