I put the flowers
in the vase yesterday.
They were lilies,
not that you'd notice anyway.
But I thought it important
to add life to the room
and let the smell permeate
from a bouquet in full bloom.

After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.

Great one! love that it's simple, with a poetic whisp in it.
This poem manages to pack a punch in so few words! It reminds me of the song 'Tolerate It' by Taylor Swift!
So little said but so much expressed! I loved this. A snapshot of a relationship courtesy of lilies. Btw, I'd notice. Lilies pong!
