Daily Splendor

Splashes of pink from the flowering Crabapple....haze through the sturdy square of lemon yellow glass - framed in Knights's Armor ....at parade rest on my porch. Inside on the ledge, my Christmas Cactus welcomes Spring....with bazookas exploding triple pink perfections in every direction! ~~~ these are my favorites ~~~ ~~~ rising from the soil~~~ ~~~ shaped in glass ~~~ When I'm pink, sound disappears ....and comets are late for tea Perfect prisms of lemon light my intentions....prevent my escape Sometimes, I wonder how long it will last....before the lemon sours ....the cactus only bristles....and the crabapple is bitter, once again.... ....dedicated to AG....xxxooo
