It's morning and the sun is out.
The petals are open, fleshy and soft.
They are arranged in symmetry,
Splashy, a pinwheel of red.
A wasp nears toward the black center,
An invitation. He lands, wings spread.
There is a mingling, an exchange.
The stem acknowledges the weight.
Soon the wasp retreats, head first
Leaving the flower intact.
The meeting necessary, symbiotic.

Thanks Mike, I wondered if anyone would comment on the sexual undertones. And of course, the meeting between a man and woman isn't just a necessary one...if it's with the right person it is utterly amazing.

Thanks for the comments. Sometimes short and to the point is what's needed. That way in relationships we don't waste each others time. :)
