There in the underbrush,

Red like lips of a diva parting;

This plant called 'hot lips'. 


The eco-guide tells us the legend:

A young man unprompted,

With his lips touch it;


The love of a woman he desires,

Surely truely will be his.

  5. "Underbrush", a unique use of our prompt word. Very clever, Gillena. I like the way we find romantic reasons for the whims of Mom Nature.
