Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

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.
