mochi-white





















mochi-white seedpods
when seed layer peels off
dropping dark promise

snowdrop-white
hides behind dark layer
wind will blow








These seedpods are from the
Lunaria annua var. albiflora
- white-flowered Honesty -
a.k.a. Money plant or Judas penny

There's more than meets the eye here, the play with tones, dark and light, with words and pictures is admirable. Very high quality stuff
