The small flower bed next to my porch still yields surprises after five springs and summers of being here. There is a mystery creeping vine that I’ve trimmed and perhaps hampered–I wonder–but today it came up with fresh apple green leaves and blue flowers that I don’t recall seeing before. I took a photo and wrote a brief poem, a ‘cinquain’.
Surprise
mystery vine
spreads, tangles, winds upwards,
delicate stars, translucent blue,
appear.

Is the stem square shaped? The leaves remind me of mint and if the stem is square, then it is a mint. Very pretty, and a nice poem too!

I double checked–the stem is round and the leaves are not minty. I can see how the leaves resemble mint though. Thanks for the suggestion!
