when knighthood was in flower

[fictional]

i was walking down the street,
head down against the wind.
sleet and snow whipping through my hair.
i suppose i looked irritated.
i passed a man coming out of the castle like building that i was just about to enter.
"What is up with this weather?" he said.
"I was just thinking the same thing."
after completing my errand, i exited the building,
and ran into him again, returning with a sheaf of irises.
(irises are my favorite flower)
he smiled, and handed me one.
"I hope this brightens your day."

isn't it amazing how a random stranger can soemtimes touch you as much than the sincerity of a long lost friend?

there's definitely something about the kindness of strangers
(not to get all tennessee williams...)

When I am Empress, I will send my ninja flower-strewers to stealthily bombard you at all times with petals.
Just so you're warned.

i'm actually quite fond of the split infinitive.
it's like a crumpet...with jam in the middle.

mmm...strawberry jam....
