. aster turned out to be a disaster ?? ...

[Marie Harrison]

She was on a date with periwinkle

fashionably late
doing things on her own time
that blooming Aster

[paul]

late is better than never

[em]

for all late bloomers
learn a lesson from Aster
pretty ain't enough!

[Emily B]

GOD made a little gentian;
It tried to be a rose
And failed, and all the summer laughed.
But just before the snows
There came a purple creature
That ravished all the hill;
And summer hid her forehead,
And mockery was still.
The frosts were her condition;
The Tyrian would not come
Until the North evoked it.
“Creator! shall I bloom?”

--Emily Dickinson
