Clematis

entry picture

Feeling inspired by flowers ....

Eager to rise

Searching for sun

Spiriling vines

Quick to hold on

Striking a pose

To soak up the rain

Then onwards

And upwards

She's moving again

Queen of the climbers

Flowers free flowing

Her petals define her

She'll never 

Stop growing

You use rhythm and rhyme expertly to create the sensation of growth and climbing, Ruth. A fine poem.
