Hollyhocks
worn down
before vacation
I allowed
the Big Baby
to wrest the mouse
from my hands
and slather
hollyhocks
imprudently
Photo note: Two years ago I succeeded in growing a single hollyhock (second one down) which has since vaporized in the sea air. Fortunately I captured it in electrons for posterity. I remember hollyhocks fondly from my childhood, mostly in the context of lei making, and haven't seen one for years. To my delight, they seem to have had a fashion revival, and are everywhere this year.
