Summary
The web content is a poetic reflection on the beauty of earth, inspired by the sight of sunflowers reaching towards the sun.
Abstract
The article titled "On Earth, After All" is a piece of poetry that falls under the theme of #floralweek. It features an image of sunflowers captured by the author, which sets the scene for a contemplative verse. The poem describes a view from the sky, where the observer gazes upon endless rows of sunflowers stretching upwards towards the sun, evoking the image of an open road in the thick of a Carolina summer afternoon. The poem concludes with the observer's realization that, indeed, life on Earth is worth cherishing. The author, Samantha Lazar, includes a note of gratitude to Tapan Avasthi for the inspiration behind the week-long floral poetry series.
Opinions
the view from sky:
she looks down upon rows and rows of sunflowers — blooms rising towards their twin star an open road in July a top down thick Carolina afternoon —
and thinks: yes I could live on earth, after all.
