A ‘Waltz Wave’ poem
my favor- ite flower shall always be that which puts a smile on its recipient's face, espe- cially when coupled with a flush of self- con- scious sur- prise
Tanka Tuesday
For #TankaTuesday, Colleen Chesebro offers us this 1860 painting by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (1793 – 1865) called ‘The Expected One’. For this prompt, we are to compose syllabic poems inspired by Waldmüller’s painting.
W3 poetry prompt
For this week’s W3 poetry prompt, Brandon Ellrich encourages us to write poems about our favorite flowers.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Fantastical painting
The artist explored
A young woman walking and reading
An unusual talent and skill
She will not stumble and fall.
An out of the ordinary take the Poet gave.
💐my favor- ite flower shall always be that which puts a smile on its recipient’s face,💐
How would you adjudicate if many flowers bring a smile to your face.
💓🙏🏻 Abi 🙏🏻💓 ~ for me, the best flower is the one that elicits the most positive reaction 😄
Ah yes, a great rule, there is only one of their kind 💗💗
Beautiful and romantic. Great choice of flower too!😉
💜🙏🏻 Brandon 🙏🏻💜
Flowers always bring a smile to the face, but it’s the giver that makes the heart smile. Great poem, David!

David, this lovely poem gives some very good advice. ❤ It has been said that the way to a man's heart is his through his stomach. I believe that flowers are the way to a woman's heart. If that fails, try chocolate!
Many, many years ago, for his birthday, I sent my first husband flowers and baked his favorite German chocolate cake! Both were well-received. 🙂
Cheryl, are you familiar with this clip from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast?
If you can’t see this YouTube link in the WP Reader, take a look directly at this comment on my blog…
Thank you, David, for the clip. I don’t believe I ever saw the movie, just a few clips from it. I did read the story when I was young. Very funny about the insincere promises! ❤
Nice one.
🤍🙏🏻 Misky 🙏🏻🤍 ~ thanks!
