Awaking from deep slumber she peeps at the crimson sky her loose tresses wet with dew. Shyly, loyal to the rising sun, on a naked stalk she spreads her striking petals washed in blue. Growing in confidence she smiles cheerfully exuberant. Open-eyed, she whiles time away, listening to the soft whispers of the breeze and young lovers, their every secret shared willingly...they trust, they know: A daisy never tells! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Contest: Blue daisy Sponsor: Mystic Rose © 17th June 2017

Thank you very much, Susan for the most lovely feedback! It is sincerely appreciated. ~ A generally accepted meaning of a daisy is that it's loyal to love and commitment, and can keep a secret...such is implied in the end line. ~ Warm regards // paul
