Trilliums

24 Comments

Flowers don’t often write poetry, but these flowers are two petals short of a load, so anything goes.

Short on petal,

Long on lines,

Test our mettle,

No one whines.

 

We are trilliums,

That we are,

Trilliums ‘n’ trilliums,

Here to afar.

 

Like Brazilians,

Or gazillions,

We are trilliums,

By the millions.

    That was amazing. Who knew so much could rhyme wit ‘trillium’. And three petals–that is different.

    Those trilliums are so very pretty. And your little rhyme was fun to read. Thanks for sharing those pictures of the wonderful little flowers!

    I’m fond of trilliums, Anneli. We don’t have them by the “bazillions,” so when I find one, it’s always a pleasure.

    Trilliums light up the forest with white petal glow which turns to pink as they age. Why don’t we turn to pink as we age? 😊 Marsha

    Trilliums tainted tendrils. 😃
