Violet blooms


drink this cup
steeped of violet blooms, soothing  
 heart's bitter aches      


Legends of Violets
take these blooms-
hued of rain and spring love- 
yours to keep -

    Violet tea... I shall try! I have dozens of pressed violets I've dried and saved over the years. One day I shall use them in a fitting piece of art. And the yellow in the prompt's accompanying encaustic? Dried, pressed flowers from my garden!

    I've heard of candied violets but not violet tea. Is it as wonderful as it sounds, Grace?
    Luv, K
