Nature’s umbrella
rises proudly through sheared grass
No match for hot sun
Fragile hood carries new life
Drops spores with each dying breath

Thank you Liz. It was in my yard last week. So many things in nature are ephemeral.

Beautiful, Dwight! Simple and profound. ❤ I have always found mushrooms fascinating…the plant from which they spring may cover acres underground. Have a great weekend! 🙂

Beautiful nature’s umbrella! And your poem captured it’s cycle of life with feeling!
Delicate, yet strong. Lives, dies, rejuvenates the soil, life springs up again.
They are so beautiful…so many shapes, sizes, colors.
