Could be peering through those blinds, guy, sure could be. Nice work.

I love the spare wording and the quaint simplicity.  "I wonder if that flower is looking back at me" is a very childish and very beautiful thing to think.  Solemnizing it in poetry is very honest.  The best poetry, after all, is the poetry that shows a little glimpse of the pleasure our soul shamelessly gives itself.

Really liked your poem.

Everything about this is perfect.  I am so glad you found and loved this shy, beautiful flower and gave it the recognition it deserves with your poem, must worthy of it, not to mention the rest of the depths of your poem.

I meant to stop in the other day and tell you, Jimmy, that this is gorgeous.  You made me think how much Marge would have loved your picture and poem.

Thank you, dear friend.

This is beautiful man.
Words so concise but yet so full of wonder.
Pic works superb.

Love always evokes such questions, especially when we see something exquiste
This is just lovely
