Petals preparing / perfect, pending, pendulous / pregnant, purposeful.

Twoku:
Petals preparing / pink and purple pendulous / pregnant with purpose.

The “twoku” is actually the original, first-thing-to-pop-out-of-my-mind version. I like its word-flow better than the final version used for the title, but the words seemed a little too…suggestive?

I tried several variations, ultimately giving in to the joy of wordplay, and made the title version of the poem solely using “p” words!

Which version do you like better?
