Double Delight

Out of a seed,new life, Then a root; Out of this soil,a tip, Then a shoot; Out from a stalk,a stem. Then a gem; Out of the blue,flowers, my delphinium. Out of its root,new life, a new shoot, Out of this shoot,a stem again; Twice over , flowers my delphinium.

Great write that should do well in the contest...The Delphiniums were in bloom that way you knew that it was summer..Such an exciting and romantic time of the year..(From a movies from long ago don't know how I remembered that .)Good luck...I sent you soup earlier today did it come through? A question about my latest write"The Unfinished Work"...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara
