~
gentle white daisies
waving petals toward sun
beckon birds to flight
~
bright purple pansies
celebrate the warm season
with radiant smiles
~
naïve pink roses
hasten to open petals
where butterflies land
~
joyful red lilies
spread sensitive foliage
awakening bees
~
lavender hostas
lifting high above the plant
embracing sunshine
