Even in this dwindled aura, in our
Chaos--on this dim, unkindled, sallow road to Oz and through it all--we become more
Layered.
Illuvial we are--like the wayward roots that spiral, earthward, of the Night
Phlox and the patient Passiflora. Through the sentiment and
Sediment--in the damp decay and moss--We grow:
Even in this temporary day-loss--in this homemade, pinholed box (that we’ve inanely) opened of Pandora.

Author's Note: While treasure hunting for "I" words, I stumbled upon Illuvial. I found it to be a stunning.
Midjourney had a hard time representing a homemade Pinhole Projector that many use to view the solar eclipse. Ultimately, however, I like how the image captures the idea that something mysterious and magical has been unleashed. 🫣

Awesome story I like it congratulations 🎉🎉
Beautiful! Never heard of that word - now I have. 😁 Thought I was missing a couple of your pieces but looks like you have been very busy! 😊👏
I loved this line "Chaos--on this dim, unkindled, sallow road to Oz." I feel that this is what is happening to us (society).
Illuvial--it's not always unhealthy to sink into the mud, eh? Well-wrought!
Took it to a complete different level...crazy how nature can rule over us
I didn't only learn what illuvial is but I also learned what are phlox and passiflora. You always teach me new words! Your Acrostic was breathtakingly beautiful and your images were stunning!
A real gem collection of word choice in this piece! Illuvial was a good casting for center stage! Great acrostic!
Illuvial - insanely beautiful -
Did not know this words and as a word collector, you had me at hello, so to speak. Dirty little ditty. Not literally. You get my meaning?! 🤩🤩🤩
Excellent poetry as always 👏🏽
Stunning, sublime, spectacular. Well done, Gina!
Absolutely brilliant, Gina!
