Glads

You love African violets.

It was a surprise then
when you confessed a passion
for Gladioli.

We bring home thickets of them
vivid, over-the-top floral giraffes.

They dwarf everything in the apartment,
I have a new appreciation for the word 'galore',

they provide shade for the African violets.
