Very vigorous vines vanguish ... a salute to the letter v.
Clematis on the flagpole


Vagrant and fragrant
entwining vine
six petals plucked
spring's vision of time.

Viewed from verandas
or placed in a vase
leapt from spring's palette
big soft pleated plates.

Vast is the seascape
the vanished horizon
but here sails before us
a violet clad mizen.

Note: mizen: third mast of a sailboat (yawl, dandy). Also spelled: mizzen.
