Scalloped petals
Blushing pink
Single bloom
Kissed by Summer’s sunshine
Captures my heart
Shadorma
Grew near my bedroom window
Colorful sword flower
Haiku
The small house I grew up in as a child was bordered on one side with gladiolus and hollyhock planted by my mother.
My Mother was born on August 25th. She loved Gladiolus and
Gladiolus is the birth flower for August.
It’s lovely to remember looking out my bedroom window and viewing many colors of tall gladiolus and hollyhocks.
Such a nice memory to recall as I begin the month of August 🙂
God unlocked beauty
White Rose in bloom
Haiku
Bruised, but will rise again.
In His mighty strength
And His tender compassion,
He will bring new life to me.
Tanka
(based on Matthew 12:20
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment to victory.)
