Scent of Peonies-Bite Size Poem

Frilled edges of flora in bloom
Along my garden’s fences
Sweet scent of peony perfume
Invades my senses
They dance on stately stems
Pink skirts ruffled at their hems

This is a lovely, sweet poem, Jenna, about one of my favorite flowers...the peony. I remember decorating graves with them when I was a kid. They are in full bloom here the end of May.
