Nice Tanka, Sam. Nice to see all the different flowers express themselves in different ways. They're all beautiful as their authentic selves. Much like humans. Have a great week! Bill

Harry, thank you! Thank you for taking a stroll through the garden with me. In my mind there is no greater compliment to a poet than knowing their words can put another poet into the mood and scene of their poem! So grateful! Sending you a spring garden of blessings!

Thank you so much Andrea! Your lovely words are like a garden party of spring to me! And I have to thank you for the word "rollicking!" This is a word you used awhile back and it came to mind when thinking about the rumpus of spring. Many blessings and good thoughts coming you way!

Reads like a good contender for the contest. Way to go. Amazing how the flowers and blooms upon the trees come alive to let us know that there is hope for beauty once again. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Sara
