Bougainvillea

Aruba
Pink and orange sunsets
Surrounded by tropical 
Joy, people smiling at breakfast.

Urged by the scenery 
To fully relax 
And smell morning’s coffee

Beyond my tablet, 
I spy the delightful 
Petite snow-colored
Flowers that peek
Like faeries 
Through their
Fuchsia motherboard

Amongst
The fragrant bougainvillea
Climbing toward heaven
From whence she came
I sigh my first sigh of
vacation.

I've raised a few of these; this was beautiful; had to "fav".

They are so gorgeous, do you have to raise them inside?

Thank you Line. I do think it is a gorgeous time indeed when you are on vacation, among the bougainvillea.

Thank you my friend; I could not resist this contest for has there ever been a prettier flower? If there are prettier ones, I know they are in your garden, my friend.
