VIOLETS IN SPRING Violets in funereal sleep, bonnie beneath Winter’s crust. Breathless debutantes, preparatory young virgins, putting on pretty purple petals. Virtuous violets gracefully glide through the rich soil, burgeoning intoxication, the world’s first tantalizing taste of their demure debutante smiles. Kim Rodrigues © 2017

Spring is just about to bloom all over the place, well, except the northeast I hear, but still it won't be long. Nicely done Kim.

Thank you, Chris! I just came back from Chicago and the birdsong in my ears was so lovely. Spring is a delight!

Kim, all that alliteration, those great images of flowers and young girls as comparison. Absolutely wonderful.
