poem for spring

One flower at a time, please
however small the face.


Two flowers are one flower 
too many, a distraction.


Three flowers in a vase begin
to be a little noisy


Like cocktail conversation,
everybody talking.


A crowd of flowers is a crowd 
of flatterers (forgive me).


One flower at a time. I want
to hear what it is saying.

Today was spring, beautifully and completely. It is also three days until my birthday. :) These two facts are making me feel rather optimistic about life. I hope today gave you a few reasons to feel optimistic, too.
