Floral

Lions’ manes seek springtime

Sunshine

Tulip forests in

Red, yellow, purple, and pink

Coats shed, packed deep away.

Camellias, red

Maple buds, chartreuse –

Aphrodite appears; love season arrives.

Desires tire of their winter weather timeouts

Red merry widows, pink satin Freudian

Slips

Flushing faces and blue silk swirl

Come waltz a floral fairytale

With me.
