A fast fulvous flash, bright & bold,
sits on a surface, stark as snow,
as sheets, serene and sleek, unfold,
and brisk breezes begin to blow

A splash of mauve in morning shade,
where anemone florets braid
a sunny central plait, displayed,
nature's artistry arrayed
for #FlowersOnFriday !

The Lady of the Dawn with many names
decorates the morn with energy, flames
Goddess of fire, bringer of healing,
knowledge-supplier, wisdom-revealing

Ancient bark is mantled in green,
mossy cloak on this giant, seen
as sunlight pierces leafy screen,
dappled here where ents convene

A lone house sits apart from the rest - a gassho roof thick enough to shrug off hard winters. Susuki in the field, clouds low on the hills. Timber & thatch doing their job.
