a single Amaryllis bulb
into my Christmas gift did bump
like devotion to Christ
i, on time, with care did plant
blood-red flowers soon did bloom
delighting my heart
prompting fingers to photo-shoot
like fancying a young bride
too soon the wisdom of the astute
did knock on my door, my head
dollars in night dreams too fade
on waking like my drooped floret
