The lilacs that grow outside my grandmother's house (innocence, confidence, first love).

The french lavender colour we painted the frame of my childhood bed (devotion, serenity, grace, calmness).

The violets my girlfriend nicknamed me for (modesty, humility, faith, sapphic love).

The crochet rose I made for my newborn niece (adoration, wonderment, charm).

Blossoms all of the same colour, with different meanings (but to me, they all mean home).

This poem was written for the 'Taste The Rainbow' prompt that is part of James & Oneg's Summer Writing Extrav-again-za. I may have cheated on the title a little oops.
