neglected garden—
buttercups in jeopardy
languish in the heat
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
picking buttercups—
risky, hints the warning sign:
Do Not Touch Flowers
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
picking buttercups—
cathartic experience
for the daring soul

    I always thought buttercups were much more hardy. I can remember my mother’s eyes fall when we brought an armful back from the meadow.

    Bright and cheerful flowers, those buttercups. I would love to have an armful myself.

    I remember we as kids we used to hold a buttercup under someones chin and if shone on their skin you knew they liked butter! The silly things we did!

    The second stanza sounds the warning most aptly! No fooling with such poison matters! Nicely MMT!

    Blind Coyote Eyes are another name for buttercups 🙂
    But yes not being able to see…

    A nice story in your trio.

    I did enjoy the entire series. Was it cathartic because it was forbidden, risky?? {grins}
