So fragile, I could count the veins beneath her pink petaled softness. In ruffled skirts, like a gypsy she danced, coaxing her unopened buds to bloom.

Dear Lin, the delicate sensual beauty of your verse falls upon the page as if delivered by a feathered quill. I adore this piece and especially love the last line for an exquisite finale. Warmest wishes, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

Hi Susan. Your compliments are always an encouragement for me. It's interesting how one phrase can become something so much more, depending on a mood at the moment. Thank you, Susan.

Morning, Tania and thanks a lot. They are one of my favorites, along with gardenia and lilacs. Pink, white and lavender... what a pretty bouquet that would make.

No, Tom. I think this peony is more delicate in color and ruffles.

Thanks so very much for your thoughts, Tom. I hope to make others see what I do, without looking at the picture.
