Diamond Dreams

Tulips of morning
just waked from amaranth dreams,
meet glittering sun.
Dogwood rose opens redly
Pink dawn's jewel shines steady.

Beautiful flowers
respond to warmth's mute caress!
They're a dream come true
in varicolored versions
'ere dusk dreams, in beds again!

Two for one: a terrific Tanka of this flower, and a photograph in sharp, beautiful detail. I love how you bring flowers to life.

- My tulips bloomed this weekend...they remind me of my dad...it was his favorite...pride and joy...I think he had most of the colors and it was a sight for people walking by (but they had to stop to admire :) - A real diamond, Evelyn :) - hugs

Rebirth leads to beauty, only to go dormant and be born again in their appointed time. Another priceless gift from a benevolent Creator. Nice write Evelyn
