Picture Perfect - Movement

This was taken by my husband, in our backyard(goes to show that every plant dies except for the weeds).   The Picture is His but the verse is mine...

The Dandelion,

patiently waiting its chance at immortality

 A light wind breezes by,

Giving it an oppurtunity.

It shook ever so slightly,

Letting go of its future ever so lightly.

Seeds on a Wing

For a moment, like the King

Lifted loftily into the air

By the palaquin bearer Pair.

Very sure of what the future Brings.

-- K P Rashmi - March 2008

Dear Mithuna,

Thank you for the post. It is a beautiful photo taken by your husband and equally beautifully worded poem by you. Thanks for sharing. Here I have to tell one thing. If you could tell me how the picture is depicting the theme MOVEMENT.Thanks.

If you look carefully.. By your own findings from the Dictionary," Movement -A natural event that involves a change in the position or location of something;"

Those two seeds were part of that globe but when the wind blew it fell out. The seed falling out = MOVEMENT

Yes- Mithuna, Thank you for clarification. It was not clear to me from your verse or picture. Hence my question.
