~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lovely fire Lilly I recall when I saw you and how the light played upon your flushed face, even your shadows were beautiful

A very nice descriptive tanka about the lily. It is a beautiful Asiatic lily. I had one at one time, but time seems to take mine to the flower graveyard. I still will buy some new ones and plant them for a year or two's beauty. One time a had some very successful ones but the deer ate the buds off every year until they no longer came back up. Sara K

thanks for dropping by Sara K. I love lilies, but we have trouble with them as well...probably the soil or the location. Sorry to hear you have such trouble with them and, of course, that deer :-) enjoy your evening, hugs, Sara

I love the intimacy you've given this tanka through 'the personal touch,' Sara. Bravo! ~ Gershon
