One Small Rose

One Small Rose--Tanka

This poem is dedicated to my manager, Angela, who made working on Mother’s Day a little nicer with her gift of a single artificial rose corsage to all the mothers working that day.

Dahlia by the Door

Dahlia
Dahlia

 

Dahlia you look so delicate,
Dressed  in very light  pink.
Petals perfectly poised.
So well , they interlink!
Pretty as a pinwheel.
Your beauty  brightens my day.
Glad to make your acquaintance,
This beautiful morning in May!
