Scent vs Taste

Lavender

a pungent French cake
made of lavender essence
tastes like my hand soap

Mother’s Lavender

Lavender

Give me a pocket of lavender
Is what I bid as you run out to play
And before the sun sets
I’ll anticipate the sway
Of your proud little body
On its way home

Thirst

Bee

Honey bee stroking
Buds of purple lavender
Hopes for quicker bloom

Out of Time

The lavender blooms
On the edge of red autumn
A late arrival
