This sweet little dollop of scarlet
sprouted up right under my nose
and I hadn’t even noticed.

I found her in my front garden
amidst lots of other flowers
that are fading in the fall weather.

But this delicate darling won’t let a cold snap
cut her time short.

She’s got way too much to do:
growing, blooming, shining, beating the odds.
My kinda girl.
