Frozen Spring morning
Fledgling awakening
Fractured, tired country lane
Faded flivver of old
Frowsy homes struggle life
Fricative hushed voices
Flowers still arch and farl

sounds like a lazy summer morning.....
I thought those words were so unusual that we'd all come up with something similar. How wrong I was.
great poem today, well chosen words
This is beautiful. I love the picture you took. It compliments your Pleiades. I agree with Carole how everyone has come up with something different each time. And, the hours you must have spent watching the flowers bloom and close back. Nice job. Have a nice day.
I am always learning something new and magical off your blog...again, thanks for the lesson teach...beautiful unusual words, even their descriptions are interesting, lots of new words to learn.
