    About this ebook

    In this book the author (not to be confused with the homonymous American photographer Imogen Cunningham) collects some of the poetry she wrote - for private enjoyment only - throughout decades. They are a declaration of love to flowers, indeed. But the flowers themselves are also a means to talk about her life - about the experiences one might have throughout one's life - without the exhibitionism that someone like Imogen cannot stand.
    Other flowers - other poems - could be added, but these are the ones the author felt comfortable sharing at this point. May they be sufficient for the enjoyment of the reader.

      Remember to think on joy, my love.Remember to think on joy. May it be a steamy, hot bath.Or the incredibly long neck of a giraffe. Crunching a leaf.A crooning song-weep. Sandy shifted, foot-tread whispers.Or the ochre-dusty finger paint, that lingers

      Summer: A Love Story

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Blossoms of Life - Imogen Amelia Cunningham

      In the garden, stories to be told

      In the garden, the earth awakens

      Beneath the sun's warm rays

      The soil is tilled, the seeds are sown

      And the sprouts begin to raise

      What news are to be known?

      What stories to be told?

      The tender shoots reach for the light

      As they grow into strong plants

      The colours of the blooms are a sight

      To behold with wonder and grants

      What news will they write?

      What are the stories to be told?

      Each day is a new adventure

      To see what the garden has in store

      A world of beauty and splendour

      That makes our hearts forever soar

      What news in their odour?

      What stories will be
