Flowers in the Garden

In the Imaginary Garden, Margaret encouraged us to write about flowers.  I adore flowers. I have green thumbs-but am related to green fingers.  I nicknamed my mother Miss Rhumpius aka the Lupine Lady, except my mother plants Cosmos in her world.   I was going to write about the glorious Moonflowers-but I have done that a couple of times. My birth month flower is the Lily of the Valley. I love its heady perfume, but in the Zodiac site-Margaret shared with us, I am a Poppy.

Gypsy Spell

 Twirling my papery boho skirt

I taste Sangria

 wind caresses my brown shoulders

plaited velvet green  

hair swings 

 as tonic takes my hand

into the Blackberry night

rain drums new tune

-I sway

away from grey magic arms

missing my golden Evil eye

memory climbs towards

electric blue blanket

gathered charms

enchant my spell

heart shaped roots cling

white dove appears

gliding kite like

I make a wish

as day's essential oil

steeps my soul's tea

"Then lightening strikes

maybe once, maybe twice..."
