She’s a bright red rhododendron,
Enjoying the warm summer sun,
On the steepest green hill.
Icy cold? She digests it!
Heat? She adores it!
She’s a bright red rhododendron.
Thorns shielding her,
The bright red alluring all,
She’s a danger, beware.
She’s a bright red rhododendron,
A prickly, not-so-delicate beauty,
The queen of the Himalayas.
For NaPoWriMo Day Eleven. Today it was about flowers, and I chose Rhododendron which signifies ‘Danger, Beware’. Fun fact, it’s also the national flower of Nepal.

I actually didn’t know that about a rhododendron. (iI had to look it up) So I learned something. Nevertheless, very nicely done. Your imagery is spot on. <3

You never hesitate trying on to something new.. that’s really cool about you. The name of the flower is a bit difficult to pronounce. But yaa you did enlighten us that it is the national flower of your native land.
