See out on the lawn
Springing forth purple beauty
Flocks and flocks of Phlox

Oh mom--you are so clever and deep all at the same time--

     Now I bend my knee to you--
     'O Guru of Haiku!

And it's all so lovely!  Love you.

Have a wonderful day.

Small purple crocus
Peaks shyly up from the snow
Welcoming the spring

Martie~
You are of 'friendships' flock ..
A special treasure to the heart
of this lady.


INclan~
Thanks, lady.
You know .. it's funny that
you should mention the 'sounds' of this.
I can remember the first time I ever
uttered this phrase ...
'flocks and flocks of Phlox'
I was a teenager describing a field of
purple Phlox to my Great Grandmother.
It stuck with me all these years ...
I am pleased for the Haiku phrasing
that brought it to life.
Thank you for noticing.

Eyes of Daffodils
Springing forth reflect the sun
To greet vernal days

The Haiku were meant to be, but
As the Oriental they were to short for me
Just not enough space you see.

Oooh, beautiful!  I love phlox. All flowers really, but anything purple especially gets me.
