Written for My Aunt Louise, who loves Geraniums as much as I do.

Her soft pink petals are invitingly fresh and bright Next to many others displayed in colors that delight She sits and patiently awaits on greenhouse shelves And prays she is soon chosen, as her heart swells She smiles as the morning sunlight warms the air As her earthy scent wafts and attracts with flair Her magenta blooms are lightly covered in mist Her petals stir, welcoming the moist dew kiss She hopes the sweet geranium lady will soon be here Then soon hears her voice as she's getting near Her petals whimsically gleam as her growing stems invite As she sits attentively waiting, feeling proud and sprite She feels her pot lifted from the crowded greenhouse floor Delighted she was chosen and excited for what's instore Her feet are now planted at her new home in a beautiful pot Displayed amongst her blooming friends in a bright cool spot She smiles as the morning breeze tickles her new blooms And her sweet lady admires her beauty and fresh perfumes She vows to zealously grow, with her petals blooming strong In hopes her blooms deliver delightful gifts all summer long

Dear Tania, Absolutely enchanting! The way you've captured the delicate hope and spirit of a flower waiting to be chosen is magical. I loved how your words breathe life into this little plant's journey, a tender narrative of anticipation and joy. Truly a lovely piece that makes a simple moment feel extraordinary! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

It is very popular in Malta. Unfortunately, my small garden has little sun. The great variety of hues is a delight to see, especially when the plants have flowers of more than one colour. Hugs.

Geraniums, I really love. They are a real beauty in their glossy petals and striking colors. Even their leaves are beautiful. Enjoyed your poem in lovely rhyme.
