Is it me or have the flowers suddenly woken up? There are blossom and blooms everywhere – it is lovely to see.

I’m going to use this for the prompt this week and it is :

…the scent was overpowering…

Of course, your writing does not have to be anything to do with flowers! You use the prompt and take it where you want as always. The link will close on Sunday 15th March

Julia’s Joy! – revisited


 

This week’s theme for Tara’s Gallery is ‘Joy’ . This is to balance things after last week’s Ugly. I found this quite difficult because in many ways, it would depend on the time, place & my mood. I looked the word JOY up in the Collins English dictionary & it said: ‘a deep feeling or condition of happiness or contentment; something causing such a feeling; a source of happiness.’

Armed with that definition, I proudly present ( with huge thanks & hugs to my wonderful photographing  hubby!) my interpretation of ‘JOY’ – whatever, whenever, wherever – they will make me feel good!

 

 

 

Nature at her very best! She never lets you down to feel Joy!

Tulips

This poem is my first attempt at NaPoWriMo prompt which to write a poem featuring at least three of the five senses

You were tight

Close lipped, almost shy.

Among your peers, standing firm.

Not daring to touch for fear of showing weakness

But the warmth gently encouraged, you began to move, to test, to explore.

Safe? Yes it is safe.

As your fragrance joined the aromas, spring arrived.

They didn't notice the build up of your pressure, the hiss as you came to explode!

All they will see are the fragments of beauty that once was as you finally relax.
