softly
barely blushing
flower bud cracks open
the season’s bloom is unabashed
invites winged lover with petals open
tempting the lusty appetite
lest the nectar meal pass
butterfly lands
softly

Thank you, as always, for the share. The support really means a lot to me, my friend!
Ciao Bella Mon Amie
Have a beautiful weekend! Many blessings..😊
You as well, and enjoy your family.
I will! Thank you.
I sometimes forget to say this but thank you for liking and visiting my blog. Support and friendship are vital in what we do here as bloggers. Thank you.
I wish I had time to read more of them. It is my pleasure. 😊
Sad there are only 24 hours in a day. 🌞 😎 😄
True. And they pass so quickly! Have a wonderful weekend!
nice. I liked this. 🙂
Thank you, Jim! It’s a little early, but I hope you have a great weekend!😊
you too sweetie
I will! Thank you.😊
Beautifully worked out, Tanya. You have the line-breaks just right – they follow the meaning as unlike many others that I see/read, which are just prose broken up into the correct syllable counts. I’m impressed!
Thank you so much, Roland! It is a form I have quickly fallen in love with. It is a wonderful challenge in the Rictameter to begin and end in the same spot. Your feedback is encouraging!
This is lovely Tamya
Thank you so much! I have a lot of flowers blooming outside…no shortage of inspiration!
Same here everything is in bloom.
Enjoy it! I need to take my camera out and get some new pictures. Have a lovely weekend!
This is just lovely! I enjoy the way you paint a picture with your words!
Thank you so much! Everything is in bloom around here. It’s inspiring. Have a wonderful weekend!😊
So beautifully written, Tanya! 🙂
Thank you, Ally! I’m blessed to have a lot of inspiration blooming in the backyard right now! Have a wonderful weekend!😊
It’s a pleasure, spring is my favorite season. We are in Autumn here, but it’s not cold at all. I think it’s global warming!
Same to you, have a great weekend! 🙂
We have got to take better care of our earth! I will enjoy my weekend! It’s going to be nice here.😊

Thank you so much, Steve! I’m glad you liked it. I love that picture too. I need to get out and take some more photos. There are lot of flowers in bloom right now!😊
You’re welcome, Tanya. You bet, it would be a great time to take a few more photos, or the flowers may start taking “selfies” hehe…
Have a great weekend! 🙂

Thank you. I actually see a number of interpretations of it…the beauty of the metaphor. I will leave interpretation to the reader. Hummingbirds arrived on my deck this morning. We’ll see what inspiration they give…
Thank you. There are so many flowers blooming around here right now, my yard is filled with inspiration. Latest guests to arrive? Hummingbirds…
and my neighbor’s cat. We’ll see what that inspires…Lol
Amazing! I hope to write like this but my writing end up depressing or opaque. There is profound beauty in simplicity.
Thank you so much! I’m always striving to improve as well. That is part of the joy of the journey.
So glad I got to read that poem. Tight up tight right now: so many knots and strings. Great fun, though, and a wonderful experience. Not much free time … but all well worth while!
Thank you, Roger! I hope you are having lots of fun this weekend. I look forward to reading about it!
It’s a really wonderful place to be and the writing time is just fabulous. And it’s not just the writing time: it’s the whole artistic interchange experience. The creations are just flowing … I am only putting selections online … there is so much more.
Enjoy every minute of it. I look forward to reading what you post!
