catching the sun
an exhilaration of color
profusion of petals
Froth
Pure white
froth of ruffles
peony’s distinction
Corsage
Invited by the sun to the spring fling
the earth wears a blushing peony.
Expansion
petals open
to sun and sky
peony sighs
Potential
the bud holds tight
to blossom
is still a dream
Rose without Thorns
Beloved maiden of the garden
peony heals sorrow with her beauty.
