Some haiku

snapdragons

are bullies in bed
prefer to rest in warmed sheets
pretend to be gods


snapdragons

velvet rainbow tubes
attract more than their fair share
of snipped attention


snapdragons

despise crowds and break
suspenders of green-eyed thumbs
crushed under pressure

Fun, Tracy. I like the anthromorphization of #s 1 and 3 - especially the first line of each.

I take it you are working on a collection of flower poems. It's fun to see your different explorations of the same flower. My favourite lines are "bullies in bed" and "attract more than their fair share of snipped attention"
