A Dainty Flower I Would Be

If a dainty pink flower I would be, I would choose the delicate peony. Anteater friendly, Really bendy, Encouraging him to lick ants off me.

Have you ever seen a peony bush? You could make a loaf of bread out of the ants.

I would be so great, and still,and the anteater would never know the love I have for him.

I'd never thought about a flower being "Anteater friendly" before...! (I love how you always make me see/ consider things from a different angle- the mark of a good poet! ;)

Thanks Rhona. I was thinking how lovely they smell and how bushy and fluffy and fun they are, and then I remembered they always are CRAWLING with millions of ants!
