Peppermint Geraniums

Bright red and bright pink geraniums
enliven the sidewalks.
A kaleidescope of warmth
on this cool spring day.

Like peppermint candy
the hues of these geraniums stand out.
Refreshing the landscape
like mints freshen the breath.

Set against a backdrop of red tiles,
whose ordered existence is a panoply.
The wildly growing and riotous geraniums
are a contrast of wills, alive and dead.

For the geraniums can grow and
change their ways,
while the tiles are fixed and
set in their ways.

The geraniums enliven the spring day.
Also, the tiles of midday.
Giving to both a liveliness of being
not to be seen in any other meaning.
