The last of the three flowers
So pretty in red
but lasting only one day
hibiscus fell off.
***
It gave me three buds,
Each flowered just for one day,
Now done for awhile.
I'll wait for next batch
Eagerly looking forward
to more blooms to come.
***
Should I crop its top
So that it grows sideways, not
In one fine tall stalk?
