Protection
Cold crocus close tight
purple petals touch
like hands folded in prayer
Daffodils
Trumpets crowned
with golden petals
play on a hillside,
sway with rhythm
Weathering the Storm
Valiant tulips
brave torrents of rain
blasts of wind,
buds ever upward
Peerless Pansies
Possibly purple
Phenomenal
Pert
Perky
Peppy
Preening
Potted
Planted
Picked
Peachy keen
This Morning’s Surprise
In the bathroom sink
orange, yellow, green, blue
a slice of rainbow
