a lipstick before you open
a wide seductive smile in bloom
a last kiss before you leave
The Gladiola
Where observation and imagination meet nature in poetry.

Beautiful! Love your haiku too, so fun and fitting.
thanks so very much Deborah
Beautiful. I remember very little poetry, but one by Francis Thompson comes to mind when I read this… they seem similarly inspired:
“The Poppy”…
“Summer set lip to earth’s bosom bare,
And left the flushed print in a poppy there:
Like a yawn of fire from the grass it came,
And the fanning wind puffed it to flapping flame.
Thank you so very much for sharing that Bohlender Art!
Pretty variety of glad, very lipstick red!

Gorgeous flower! Wonderful color!
