She is awakened by the heavy rain when summer bids adieu. Intense excitement, eager to sustain, hits home, and right on cue from hibernation slowly finds her way to where the waiting sun extends a welcome for a blissful stay: a greeting not to shun. Autumn Narcissus – fragrance fills the air. A fleeting presence – ours a brief affair. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Writing Challenge, October 2019 -Flower- Sponsor, Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode Posted on 21st October 2019

Well, of course I had to look up this flower. It resembles a daffodil in the photo above, but daffodils bloom in early spring. Your use of personification is excellent. What a shame that such a beautiful bloom lasts a short time. Excellent entry for Dear Heart's contest, Paul. Wishing you success. Also, sending a Soup Mail. Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you, Carolyn. Unfortunately many beautiful flowers die young...and yet we are lucky to partake of their beauty, even if only for a short while! Soup Mail attended to. Hugs // paul
