Hello, my friends. Some of you are probably thinking "what gives!" since I signaled an intention to blog on topics other than poetry, soon. Rest assured, there's much more to come. A video project I hoped to release yesterday has taken much longer than expected, so in the meantime I hope you enjoy some poetry and a simple game. :-)

And, to add some more fun and engagement, we'll have a simple challenge for this poem. Each of the four stanzas was written to one of the lovely flower photographs in this post. Your task is simple: discern which stanza corresponds to each picture and comment your guess below! I will upvote comments according to the number of correct matches. (First come first serve—comments left after a couple of days will no longer be eligible.)

Also, the first one to get all four correct will get a much larger upvote. ;-) Good luck, have fun, and I hope you enjoy this botanical poem/game! [Note: see credits at bottom for the titles of each photograph to include in your comment. The stanzas are called 1 through 4 from top to bottom.] Don't forget to visit the photographer Thinking-Silence's Deviantart page and show some support if you like the images.
