The Lot

my love loves flowers.
nothing brings her so much joy
as their sweet perfume.

---

a lippy tulip,
roses of red, pink, yellow,
purple hued violets,

---

sunny gerberas,
delicate gypsophila,
perfect proteas,

---

cheeky daffodils,
full rainbows of carnations,
sassy snapdragons,

---

queenly hydrangas,
a daisy just makes her day.
to market I went

---

to buy her bouquet.
I just couldn’t decide so
I bought the whole lot!

Two Haikus for this week’s challenge, inspired by my fur babies, Bella and Archie…

BELLA

eyes only for me

my loyal friend, if always

her belly kept full.

ARCHIE

it’s only a toy 

but in his sparkling brown eyes 

always the full prize

a clock strikes the hour

only sixty minutes ’til

full chimes heard once more

Free

Breaking formation,

free from their blue melody,

she began soaring.
