When Flowers Bloom

Haiku Series (Part Three—Peonies)

ivory-feathered plumes

nestle, tucked in foliage

preening peonies

~

awakening blooms

intricacies unfolding

secrets held within

~

tightly balled, raindrops

glisten silver, awaiting

petals’ opening

~

Every flower knows

when it is her time to bloom—

and today is yours.

Peonies pack so much beauty from their buds to the opening of their ruffled, sprawling petals. Watching them unfold is a joy to behold. I hope you find joy in my photos and haiku!
