A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

I almost get the feeling that the peony is recoiling from the nipping butterfly!

Nice response Cheryl Lynn … nice imagery and in a way very sensual or even erotic …

I love peonies! Sure wish we had butterflies. I’ve seen some white moths but that is about it. I’m glad there are at least more bees this year.
