Foxgloves
5-7-5-7-7
bells sigh in the breeze
pink blooms reeling off their musk
a heady poison
yet cure for my fragile heart
a balm for perpetual sleep

That’s good, sometimes I leave the writing out of exhaustion but the characters have a way of luring me back. I hope to read yours soon. 🙂

This is where digitalis comes from I think, slows the rate and increases contractility of the heart (slows and strengthens). Great test question!
Agreed. I never knew of this fact till I I googled on the prompt. 🙂
