Pretty moonflower,
Tattered and chewed,
Still you glow sweetly,
Each night renewed.

Note: I called this flower a moonflower, not because it’s the moonflower morning glory, but because it’s a flower I found glowing at twilight, under the moon. It’s a clematis. I hope my poetic license is up to date. 🙂
