Primrose In My Garden Grows by Melanie Bishop

Primrose
silently grows
blossoming
in twilight's shadows

Golden
delicate and frail
not to last the night

And yet it
lingers still
at morning's light



Melanie Bishop, New York, USA

Delicate lines for a delicate image of life and persistance. Nicely done.

I really like how you mirrored the delicateness of the primrose with the delicate language you chose.

Flowers like these, soften
anyone's heart. Melanie writes
with a gentle pen, that gives
a loving nod to Mother Nature.
