A Vase of Purple Flowers

A vase of purple flowers Makes a table, drab and plain, Into something much more festive, Like a place to entertain. Though no visitors are needed, For each lovely vibrant bloom Brings a warm and cozy feeling When I walk into the room. It amazes me how something Like a corner-store bouquet Can add such a dose of sweetness To an ordinary day.

Every vase of flowers does this for me, even the fake ones "Brings a warm and cozy feeling When I walk into the room." if they are silk, not plastic.

If they are lilacs, one can enjoy the fragrance as well, but lilacs in August in NYC? Enjoyed!

I think they’re called alstroemerias, but I’m not 100% sure. No fragrance. I guess in Hawaii you must see beautiful flowers all the time…
