Pinks on white on greenSaintpauliasAfrican VioletsGesneriaceaeWhat can I call you ?You add color to winter days.

China bowl filled with violets My own little garden Makes me smile each time I pass itSweetness.

Redbud blooms outside my front door. Red buds open into pink flowers Like cotton candy on dark sticks Waving in the sweet air, Attracting bees and Singing spring songs.When leaves come onThey push the blossoms.Which fall softly-A pink ring of Melted strawberry ice cream Around the trunk on a green grass plate.
