milky way

glossy buttercups
under their chins
first base

knockout rose
on the brink of blooming
armed with thorns

a bissel vow
chrysanthemum in her hair
full of promise

first-time grandparents
playing peekaboo
crocuses in snow

green shoots
betwixt brittle twigs
passing the torch

wildflowers
about the grassy knoll
swaying with the wind
