Violet

In the shaded corner of the garden She shows a quiet and shy face Small but magnificent

Nicely written. Cultivated violets are beautiful as are wild ones that grow around here. In fact they are one of my favorites. Keep writing. Sara

Ooh, Barbara, I'm pouting. My grandmother (died at 98 years of age) had wild violets growing in a corner of her yard. She loved them. I think of her when I see them. And I've planted some in my yard. This kimo will go to my favorites. Sweet and simple are they and this poetry syle fits them perfectly. Thank you. Lovingly, Dane (PS Loved your comment on Sibling Rivalry. LOL) Love, Dane

Indeed, they appear to be demure, but such is the nature of the violet's great beauty. Wonderful work, Barbara! Still moving, but had to feed my soup addiction tonight. Love, Carolyn
