I\'ve missed your work. I hope all is well. Do I miss my guess or are these cyclamin? (I worked part time in a greenhouse but it\'s been several years ago and my memory of flowers and their names is sketchy at best) They only bloom here in cool weather and it\'s so nice to see their pop of color when nothing else is green or blooming. Love the \"seduced in calm seclusion\" . Great line. Good to have you back!

Michael,
A fine write to serve as a reminder that words do matter...especially to children ( in my humble opinion)! I believe the adults have a better chance at defending themselves at handling the war of words...but not children. They hurt easily! I’d always teach my young students and my own children about “sticks and stones...”, “talk to the hand...”, “ignore...”, etc. when someone would hurl offensive words at them! Showering them with love is the antidote!
Beautiful flowers...
Thank you for the share!

Words do hurt and love can heal. However, often they leave a scar that can never be removed. Great write!

A true write Michael. So \'names can hurt us\'. It\'s not just \'sticks and stones may break our bones\'.
Difficult if someone is an insensitive non \'people-person\'.
Some leaving do\'s at work were a bit icy with the manageress present. They left her out of staff Christmas do\'s. heehee. Sounds cruel, but you don\'t know how horrid she could be.

Michael,
An excellent write with super metaphors!
“wrought iron skies”,
“sheet steel plays make believe”
Bravo Maestro!
Nice pic of the beautifully
colored digitalis/foxgloves!
Such interesting names!
I can see the commonality!

Love the PATHOS bursting from your two perfectly balanced QUATRAINS ~ another GEM ~ Thanks BRIAN !
