FRIENDSHIP BOUQUETS

 

Living the Folkloric life

On my tiny swamp

A friend today

Sent me a virtual bouquet

Of colorful flowers

There has always been

A language of flowers

Where a bloom was worth

A thousand words

So I translate her

Morning Glories

As growth, healing and hopefulness

And the yellow sunflower symbolism

Is health, happiness, and friendship

And now from coordinates 28/83

To coordinates 45/72

I send her a virtual squash blossom

Beloved by a part of her heritage

Symbolizing healing and friendship

But also the wish that there is

Always food on the table

Because that is life itself….
