“A sepal, petal, and a thorn” (19) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

A sepal, petal, and a thorn
Upon a common summer's morn --
A flask of Dew -- A Bee or two --
A Breeze -- a caper in the trees --
And I'm a Rose!

sniffing air.

Fearful Flowers? [Senryū]

stunted flowers:
in fear of mower
decapitation?

Flower Garden [Haiku]

color clash
in the flower garden
attracts bees & me.

Beyond Shadow [Haiku]

bloom-laden branch
stretches to reach beyond
the shadows... but no.

draws attention to itself,
while pointing downward.
