neath my window
a larkspur -
his royal throat
aflame, serenading . . .

Beautiful.
You are inspired by nature and it shines through your work, that I have so far read. This operetta gives a very vivid imagery. I am very familiar with the plant and it is a great favourite of mine among the annuals. I like the concept of being serenaded by a flower and it was clever of you to choose a plant with a name that sounds like a bird.
Thank you for the words on my work.
Thank you so much for the present of 100 points. However I do not understand the site properly and do not know how I use these points. Can you explain, I would be very grateful?

With old feel
such beautiful words spill from your pen
imagine beyond the tree
i fear she see me
in song I chant a love poem
so she may see my heart
worn on my sleeve
and sweetly
her heart bear all
to me
lovely write you have here

Why Belle, I have become
all Romeo-esque, pretending I am a larkspur. Would I were that larkspur, would I but be near that larkspur ... ahhhh!

Lovely use of ten words, that paint a picture with sound and sight. So wonderful to read something from your pen this morning, O Illustrious One.
