Pansies mock girlies:

playful they sway in the sun

to show off gay robes

WoW! Great thought process went into the construction of this delightful haiku, Margherita!

This is perfect to start spring off with.
The color and beauty of flowers and such a pretty expression to go along with.

Margherita - Flowers are like women, soft to the touch, fragrant to the smell and wonderful to look at as they sway in the breeze of the sun. Whoa! I feel a haiku coming on. This I liked much M. Namyh

Loved this ... the squirrels have now done my pansies in, but yours definitely fill the void.

Lovely, both the intrepid poem and the pic. Speaking of the latter, those two flowers could be sisters careful not to be wearing the same color dresses.

Absolutely delightful, Margherita.  Further to what Ida said, my mother used to call them cat's faces.  I don't know if that was a Scottish thing (as she was Scottish).  Does anyone who reads this know?

Oh, so many wonderful loving comments! Thank you all, my dear Poet friends. It's nice to know you enjoyed this.

As to "cat's faces", dear Owl, I only found this link, but it gives a hint: http://www.pansy-cats.com/index.shtml .

Love and hugs to all.
Margherita
