Peony of the Garden

Peony of the garden, of what do you think? Do your thoughts turn to candy floss dipped in palest pink? Do you meditate deeply, or do your thoughts flit? Does your brain enjoy conundrums, or does only foolish fit? Peony of the garden, of what do you dream? Does your heart contain fairy tales of…

Peony of the garden, of what do you think?

Do your thoughts turn to candy floss dipped in palest pink?

Do you meditate deeply, or do your thoughts flit?

Does your brain enjoy conundrums, or does only foolish fit?

Peony of the garden, of what do you dream?

Does your heart contain fairy tales of knight and castle theme?

Or do you simply wish to soak , lazy in the sun?

Do you yearn for usefulness, or is your purpose fun?

Peony of the garden, of what do you hope?

Do you have contentment, or is your goal to cope?

Do you see a higher call, a purpose for your days?

Or do you choose to simply bloom, and go out with a blaze?

      They are incredible this year – the ones that aren’t blown and smashed to bits by the wind, that is…

    Wow, I’m really impressed–you have such a gift, and your style is quite unique (that’s a good thing!). I loved this one–and I dare say I’ll begin to sound redundant if I keep saying that on every poem! oh well–God bless you! love, sis Caddo
