The 30/30 Poetry Facebook prompt for Friday was “roadside attraction,” and I was reminded of several posts from Luanne Castle’s Writer’s Site. Much of the language in this poem is borrowed from her.
In Search of Superbloom
Because it rained so much this winter, the wildflowers have gone
crazy. The roadside is abloom with a brilliant palette
of wildflowers, but we’re buzzing by on the freeway so I can’t take any
good pictures. The golden California poppies (the state flower)
and yellow flowers (don’t know their name as I couldn’t get
close) are stunning, and there are purples and whites mixed in
some places. These photos are crap due to being taken through
a car window, but they are all I have and at least I get to see
it with my eyes. We passed a line of cars at Lake Elsinore, stopped
to snap shots and just enjoy the beauty.
