| Posted by A. Paige White on 07/13/09 at 12:06 AM What a beautiful bouquet to be worn in a gathering. I loved the mental picture of a woman's skirt fondling and flirting with living fragrance. What a beautiful gift to give the reader! |

| Posted by Maria Terezia Ferencz on 07/13/09 at 08:02 AM I can smell the flowers and feel the breeze by reading. Lovely. |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 07/13/09 at 12:23 PM You awaken this old man's senses this morning... love the fragrance of lavender, but will have to simply imagine the feel of the skirt. Lovely. |
| Posted by George Hoerner on 07/13/09 at 01:08 PM You paint a great picture with words lady and provide a photo to support them. It was not really necessary as your words tell us what mother nature was thinking. |

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 07/16/09 at 07:44 AM It is sight and sound and smell and flavor all at once. The capivating lavendar, perfumes are indeed the feelings of flowers. Lovely. Thanks. |

| Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 07/16/09 at 03:23 PM I like the "how-to" tone of this, and I love the metaphor of gathering flowers and painting - something very soothing about this poem. (Unfortunately, your picture didn't come up - I'll try again late). |
