Lavender harvest
Sweetness loiters on the breeze
Blue spun in bunches
************
Lavender soft sky
Echoes fragrant blue flowers
Caressing my arms
************
Lavender and lace
Big old pots by the fireplace
Delicate blue grace

Well well well...I just realized that all your poetry sparks a memory for me....and isn't that what a great poet yearns? (a let me show you feeling).
For years I had lavender growing just outside my bedroom window and would wake up each morning (in summer) pleasantly in love with the fragrance.
Sigh.
Yet beautiful.

Anna Therese:
Fancifully well written, expressed and presented. Liked the use of color. Gave it an "I Like It" vote.
Happy trails,
Ed Bradley.

Oh, this was beautiful. I love Haiku and this was great. I can almost smell the lavender from reading it.

Ahhhh!
My second favorite flower!! (First is the gardenia)!! I absolutely love the poem. I can feel the softness in my hands as I read, and can literally smell it all around me.
