She has a way about her,
That’s what they’ve always said.
Blushes from the inside out,
Does it to herself, often, she dreads.
Others noticing, believing she naive,
What they’ve failed to catch,
All along, is her authenticity.
Along with the hints, and whisperings,
Just now being perceived.
Tips full of sunshine,
With a body full of hopes and dreams.

Authentic and genuine indeed, Aud. They should all bow to her in this one, I say.

Thanks for seeing her as she is, Chum. No, no bowing…just acceptance. Truly. Hugs! ♡♡

What a beautiful flower and photo, and definitely she has a way about her ~ “Blushes from the inside out, … with a body full of hopes and dreams.” reminds me of someone 😉

Thank you, but you embarrass me by mentioning the photo. I’m not worthy. You, Sir, are the photographer in this friendship. Look here, Flirty McFlirt…I do adore when you find me in my poetry. You have a talented eye. And I adore your great memory. *blushes yet again* Imagine the red in my cheekbones. See? I am a pool of mush when you come around. I’m such a weakling. Hope you’re proud of yourself, Mr. Collis. Giggle.

Lovely. Nothing wrong with that at all either. I’d say, she’s very special, and others are sillies not to notice it. That’s what the professor would say.

I like when you use a word like lovely, Duke. And what wouldn’t the professor say? I’d say you’re being very sweet today, which I love. Thank you ♡

What wouldn’t I say? Hmm…lots of things, I suppose. But I can’t think of any right now. Sweet? I suppose just a bit.

She blushes from the inside out most spectacularly! Almost looks like somebody painted the tips of her petals, doesn’t it?!

She’s a beaut, for sure. I need to practice taking photos. Maybe I’ll try to learn over the summer. Yes, her tips remind me of sunshine.

I sorta love the idea of you out in the rain. Water pouring off the tip of your hat. Now that is a nice image. Thank you, my day was busy, but the end of the school year is always that way. The weather is perfect for May, in Houston. I cannot complain.
