The Purple Flower

touched by dawn's first rays
one yellow-eyed spring beauty
cries for happiness

A yellow eye with purple lashes, a crocus perhaps? lovely vision in this haiku Andrea... Audrey has christened me Maggie and I haven't been Maggie since I left Scotland, so 'Maggie's rose'...cheers Margaret aka Maggie :) :)

I havn't really heard of a yellow-eyed beauty.and you make the color yellow known for holding the brightest beauty. you must be talking about the golden star in your eyes which resembles your favorite hue.(:-Always&Forever Lynette

This is a nice bright yellow, and it is okay about the pub. I only bounce on there from time to time. Irma
