January Challenge #16 – flowers

For January I signed up for 64 Million Artists’ January Challenge. Every day in January, they send out a prompt for a quick creative challenge. I’m posting some of my output here.

Find a flower. You might find it outside, inside, in a book, magazine or online.  
Consider the colour, shapes and textures of the flower. Is it rough, soft, rotting, smooth…or anything else?

Capture the essence and colours of your flower in a picture, sketch or haiku. 

January rose.
Blazing solitary pink
When will the snow come?

Snow mirroring clouds,
Soft white banks of fluff and cold
with blue sky between.
