"Violets are found in most unlikely places!" _____________________ O, the purple violet is the flower of my birth, I adore its sweet tranquil spirituality: such a humble flower to bring such strength. It is one of the first spring flowers, peaking its head out from beneath snow: it has determination to grow anywhere wildly. O, purple violets are the color of creativity, I like how they linger in dappled shade or sun: and grow even in stone with dignity and pride. There is such wisdom in the pure purple hues, I find this flower calming and dreamy: and purple violets blessed me today to write these lines. ___________________________ February 21, 2019 Poetry/Tristich/Violets in Unlikely Places Copyright Protected, ID 19- 1116-994-02 All Rights Reserved.

I like the double color of "purple violets". It's a strong phrase well repeated.

Noel, thanks so much for visiting my poem, I have always thought it odd that Violets are my birth flower and I love all things purple too !
