"Oh, to sticky-live, Monet shades fragrant and clinging to you..." great escape into such pleasant reverie...we have the same spelling of our last name, like that!

Open the bud-bowl, sticky-live, Monet shades fragrant and clinging to you. . . . lovely! Thanks. I'll remember this each time I look out the kitchen window at my peonies, each time I pick one and shake the ants out before taking it into the house.

I really liked your poem. We lived in a house that had 2 peony plants in the yard, and I couldn't believe how many ants visited the blossoms! However, the plants were under my clothesline and the ants made their way up the post and across the rope and into a kitchen window once!

Sort of like a Georgia O'Keefe painting in words. Lovely... (And I can look out the window and see my neighbor's pink peonies blooming!)
