A nice bouquet of flowers and…words! 🙂
Thank you, Ese
I love peonies. They are such big floppy flowers that you can’t help but enjoy them.
Happy to know this
Very satisfying Tan Renga Celestine 🙂 wonderfully composed. Thank you for sharing this with us all here at Carpe Diem.
You are very welcome, Kristjaan. I thank you too for the lovely inspiration.
You do great honor to the empress among flowers.
Thank you, kind sir.
…sweet scents blend ~ lovely line ~ Happy Weekend to you ^_^
Hope the weekend was superb
In my head Satisfaction Guarenteed took me to a smokey old blues joint with Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour jamming a sultry number.
But when I googled it I got this > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDjRFTIhxnA. Oh well, I’ll stick with the mage your lovely words gave me 🙂

Oh Jrb, ‘satisfaction guaranteed’ popped into my head from an old school pop song. The term here applies to the bled of food aroma and the smell of the peonies to give satisfaction to the guests. Thank you so much 🙂
Another nice one, as always! 🙂
Thanks,Teecee. I appreciate your support
You are always welcome.
Beautiful! 🙂
Thank you, Christina 🙂
I’m feeling your creative juices, my sister!
Thank you my dear 🙂
just loved the poem!
I’m so happy to hear that, Trisha. To be frank, I wasn’t so sure when I wrote it
Ahh, great way to start the day…❤
Thank you, Sunshine.
I enjoyed your tan renga, I know this form as a tanka. I have learned renga as:
5,7,5 line break, 7,7 line break followed by 5,7,5.
Though I have learned renga and tanka are supposed to be co-written – I often write the whole pieces myself. 🙂
Thank you, Jules. I appreciate your support and often interesting and useful tit bits. 🙂
