Basket of flowers
Being delivered today
Rush past my being
With no small delay
My heart wells up
My soul is touched
To have but a petal
In palm of hand clutched
My yearning is felt
A small gift breaks free
Released from its hold
Pink peony for me
I lurch through the crowd
Stem falls to the floor
My heart sings out loud
To my Creator once more
A poem from my book Passion Through Poetry, blogged here in honour of:
Pow go the peonies
Poems and Petals 
I love it, Vonita! What a beautiful poem about a breakthough.

When my day is down and I am feeling low, your poems lighten up my heart all the time when I came across to read it. You have the flow in writing love poems that brightens people’s mind with positivity energy. I just love it.
I must check up your other poems as well – I was ill for more than a week. Got a whole complete package of illness and I laid in bed not knowing if the sun is up or down …
Now, I am still feeling groogy, but the least the fever is gone now.
Wish you a lovely day, lovely lady! 😉

Enjoying my beautiful white peonies this morning. Sadly, it seems that their blooming always brings on a rainstorm that smashes them flat 😦

I am amazed you said you only just started writing poetry in 2013??? Surely you must have a lot of experience with the English language to be able to do this so well!!

Not at all! I was terrible at languages, much better at math! I have a book PDF I can email you if you would like to read it? I wrote it soon after I started writing poetry! (I will be offline so will only be able to do that next week) x
