In the moonlight, shadows dancing,
I gaze upon primrose entrancing,
A single bloom on leafless stem,
Satin beauty without blem.
Glow of Luna's shimmering light,
Bathes velvet petals in the night,
Twelve dozen roses in golden urn,
For one primrose would surely spurn.
For in moon's light, as shadows dance,
A yellow bloom, my heart entrance.

Mike-

This is so lovely.  Like having
the florist delivering your thoughts.

Somebody call the florist !
MARTIE ... that's YOU.

Reading this piece brings to life the shimmering moonlight and dancing shadows upon your cherished primrose. Beautifully crafted, Mike.
