The winner of this contest will be awarded a link of the day.
Well, vanilla I'm not sure but...Last night I had a dream that I had roots instead of feet, a long greem stemlike body and this whirlpool of tossled pink hair. It's possible that Japonisme is right and that "Mums the word."
I think you were a flower, not any flower...a bougainvillea. You are laughing because you think I am kidding. Bougainville may not have any fragrance but, is it not more beautifying than any flowers? Which other flower could attract you so much, when it blooms? An array of colours, name it you have it. Indestructible even when fallen
a flower of course, one that is clematis-like but with more delicate flowers and leaves. One that cannot be found easily, one thats is sort of rooted somewhere, but does not need much ground and that wraps itsefl around a shed or a fence or somethign and from there its little branches happily float in the wind, knowing they are firmly rooted.
You were cloistered medieval nun. Choosing this calling to escape the narrow definitions of female life at the time, you used your position to become a learned writer and philosopher. You communicated with all the important leaders of the time through letters dispensing wisdom & beauty.

An array of colours, name it you have it.
Indestructible even when fallen
Am I right?

A brightly coloured butterfly, Princess...a free spirit, that's who you were!
a ripple in a stream that flowed into the ocean and traveled the world...
You were a poppy, of course, beauty in a harsh land, sweet and lovely -- but dangerous if abused.
