too soon




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
