Welcoming a new Day
luxuriously petalled peonies soft
and warm like multi-layer skirts
ready for sultry flamenco dancers
and pom pom girls in the fields
riveting exotic orchids
confident and unflinching in
their uplifting shapes and hues
a savoir fare you have always
wanted in your secretary
crocuses graceful as a
ballet prima donna
arc-ing her hands and torsos
to ready herself for her
enthralling spiralling
strident leaps and turns
and those unassuming
soft gentle morning glories
all over the grounds beside the walk
they all dispense a lesson
in the way to welcome the new day
colouring and clothing it with one's best
