Rose: Roses are climbing or bushy perennials with thorny stems and varying shapes and colours of flowers. Passion Flower: These robust, tropical vines produce large, showy flowers and even fruit. Broom: Broom is a fast-growing shrub with an open, arching habit. It is covered with yellow flowers in spring. Crocus: This spring-blooming bulb pokes its head up long before other plants appear. The flowers come in a variety of colors and resemble small, delicate tulips. Iris: Iris grow from tubers and bloom in early-to-mid spring before most perennials appear. Morning Glory: This annual vine grows quickly, providing instant color on fences, arbors or mailboxes. Tulip: A large display of spring-blooming tulips makes a stunning and welcome statement when most other plants are dormant. Tulips come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Lily-of-the-Valley: The fragrant, white bell-like flowers of this plant are often included in wedding bouquets, but it is also used as a ground cover.

A womans love
How does one define beauty of woman? Let your words flow as you may choose But my words are gathered from the dark nights and rainy days of uncertainty of life.. When muscles, and bravado, and wit, and all the reserves of manly strength teet

Emotions
I'm up, I'm down I'm trying not to frown feel like I’m falling Straight into the ground. I cry I sigh You know why. I laugh Don’t want to break in half I smile If only for a while. If you don’t like take a hike Hear the sound of a dov
Sunny day
Her Hair sways, She dances in the sun Her eyes sparkle , She glances at the sun Her heart beats, She feels the heat of the sun Smile dances upon her lips, Beads of sweat drip, Skin bronzed, She basks in the sun.
The Plagiarist (My USB)
For those who cut/copy/paste/print out another's original work, from this site; and claim it as their own. Advice to other (original) CS poets: copy your work, to your own personal USB (or similar) as soon as you post. I have just looked at time of viewing stats for my work here; and seen that about 40 of my poems have been "viewed" in the space of ten minutes, which, to put it mildly, is pretty far-fetched. This leads me to suspect, that some mischief is at play here (I may be wrong).
More and less
Just some thoughts ...

Anger.
I wrote this 10 years ago when my daughter cut me from her life. I haven't seen her or my precious grandchildren since. I've obviously worked through the pain, but the memory lingers.
SPREADING HONEY.
I read that it is better for us to let go of injustice.....because we do not need to be angry....it only destroys our peace....of course our inner peace can be destroyed if we act as a doormat....only we ourselves can decide where to draw a line.....
