Today’s poem ~ embraceable succulents<\/p>\n

This TANKA poem is inspired by a photo by \u00a9Angel Yaromey.\u00a0 She photographed my group of stonecrop plants blooming this week.\u00a0 Pink flowers are now deep red amid the lovely jade-green leaves.\u00a0 This photo is poem-worthy, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

It is like they are having a final fling before they say “good bye” to us. I wrote a TANKA poem this morning about the stonecrop plants in my garden. Tell me what’s happening where you are!
