Lilac:                                     
                                     Lilac                           
                            Left on my porch
                    In the middle of the night, it’s
              Like a purple pop in the morning light,
              A surprising, scented, burst of color, I
                Can’t help but smile as I pick it up – 
                                    mmm…
                                    smells 
                                     like 
                                       L
                                       O
                                       V
                                       E 

                
             
              
                  Won 1st place in "BEST BLOSSOM DESIGN" contest    
                  Won 8th place in  "FLOWERS OF SPRING" contest

Lovely fragrance Lilac Susan, as well as a gorgeous colour. Many thanks for your comment on " As Dawns Light Embraces " I like to use tact in my titles as sometimes they draw the reader. I enjoy writing passion pieces amongst many other subjects. Have a lovely weekend....:)
