FLOWERS
The newest poetry prompt is "flowers!"
SENSES
Sight and smell and touch
taste and hearing all in one
beautiful flower
You might well ask how "hearing" is included? Just go out and stand near your flower garden, close your eyes, open your ears, and listen to the pollinators buzzing! The sounds of a garden often surpass the smells! As for "taste," many flowers are edible. Calendula, bachelor buttons, pansies, nasturtiums, marigolds, and carnations are just a few. No, I don't eat them, but many do!
RAINBOWS
Rainbows are not air-
born beings solely above
Look down to the blooms

Do I have a favorite flower? In the garden, probably not, although I am partial to winter pansies. The colors and patterns are just so clean and perfect. They're happy little flowers, hardy, even blooming under a snowy blanket.
What a beautiful gallery of photos. I love all of them and cherry on the cake - your haiku sweet as flowers. Thank you so much for sharing :)
