 Bing AI created this image for me


Now She Is Grown

when she was young and

 but a bud she dreamed of a

 brilliant sun on 

her velvet petals warming  

she though not of a 

bush or shrub only blossom

beautiful no thorns 

or raindrops heavy falling

nor ladybugs wings

now the sun and the moon stars

 and planets exist

  1. Like Kim Russell, you took a surprising POV and completely astound, Gillena. I loved the contrast between what this young bud dreamed and what came, a mixed blessing of thorn and rain but also far beyond anything she had imagined. I loved "ladybug wings" as one of the pleasures. Beautiful AI image. 💖
