Vanilla

Very potent vernal vision--this orchid with viridescent leaves and verdant yellow pedals, vermiform beans. In our vase, orchid's delightful vestige of tea parties. Written 5/6/21 for Kim Merryman's contest PLEIADES V POETRY CONTEST Won Fourth Place

Dearest Carol, you use the letter "V" with ease. Your imagery is vivid and I feel the recollection of the past with your amazing last line. Your golden pen spills sweet beauty, dear poetess. Belated congratulations for your wonderful win in Kim's contest. Warmest wishes, my lovely friend.. ~Susan

this was a cute idea to do vanilla. If I had not chosen vegetables, it would probably be the other word I'd have chosen myself. Congrats.
