We kneel before her beauty,
dear equinox creature –
pressed to the earth,
seeking her scent
beneath peeking petticoats –
we feel glee, regaled.
She believes in eternity not
entropy, hectors the earth
– fertilize me! perpetually.
Yet, despite fealty,
she expires, petal by petal –
evanescent – earthward.
I’m with Anna. Such a beautiful photo of one of my favorite flowers! Also love the ranunculus species and camellias. Anything with lots of petals! Thanks Susanne!

Thank you, Anna. They’re so regal looking and elegant, like southern belles with crinolins. I love them too.
