She comes to the party in her finest
walks with an elegant swoosh through the door
all about in formal black white attire
no one sees smile down-turned toward the floor
all eyes are on this girl, filled with spirit
her feet are tired as she leaves the dance floor
all hearts filled with love for Peony
pink fancy dress makes this girl whirl
*
dressed for a party
flamboyant in the sunshine
all eyes on her
The prompt for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is Peony
