Water flower
White Iris petals /
Folded by the falling Spring /
Rise to catch the rain.

Photo finish Friday (and haiku): “See me”
My beauty is now /
In this moment, at this place. /
See me; see yourself.

Photo finish Friday: “Closer look”
After the summer rain /
Lily, wet on her petals, /
drips again, renewed.
Photo finish Friday: “Blooming”
Reaching toward the future.
Reaching toward the future /
raindrops reflect the present /
while seeds crack the past.

Photo finish Friday: “Flower plea”
“Oh, please, don’t pick me.”
Flower plea
Oh, please, oh, please, don’t pick me.
There’s only a short life within me.
Leave me so others can see me.
Let me be so I can be me.
Come by as often as you like,
Be it in a car, on foot, or a trike.
I’ll be here for all to delight.
To pick me would leave only a blight.
I’m here for only a short while.
Let my bloom help others to smile.
Do not give in to temptation or denial
And leave nothing but a joy defiled.
Oh, please, oh, please, don’t pick me.
There’s only a short life within me.
Leave me so others can see me.
Let me be so I can be me.
