duchesses abloom
raspberry silk smiles
radiant, dancing
Copyright 2015 Brenda Davis Harsham
Note: Here’s a haiku in honor of the UK’s new Duchess of Cambridge and to celebrate May flowers. My son’s foot is healing, and he is proud that the grass seed he planted on Earth Day has sprouted already. He may be in pain, but he has a green thumb. And a mom who watered the seeds. 😉 This haiku is also another Poetry Friday offering, hosted this week by Today’s Little Ditty.

Ah, I love those raspberry silk smiles! 😀 They really are very silky and shiny – stunning tulips! I hate to pick tulips because they never last very long in a vase, they are much better viewed in a garden! So glad to hear your sons foot is healing – wishing him a speedy recovery!♥

Okay, that’s freaky. Is your mom one of the good relatives. Because… well, I would want to be one of the good relatives. Have you seen the movie that quote is from? It’s a classic.
