Language of Flowers

While looking into the meanings and correspondences of flowers; a "language" of flowers usually used to create beautiful bouquets for those you love; I thought: what would a 'hate' bouquet look like?

Flowers have a language

one all their very own

that may speak one's heart's desire

or chill you to the bone. 

A floral gift is a staple,

one we all recognize;

the rose says "you set my blood on fire"

declaring all your love

Dahlias to forever claim

yours sent from up above. 

Though not sweet as maple

I hope my gift shall emphasize 

with Begonias for your deformity 

that violates my eyes.

Nightshade shall share the bitter truth

of your nature so craven and uncouth,

add some dodder for your humor 

crude, rude and such a nodder

serving true as moron fodder. 

It may be redundant here 

to now add some Belvedere,

but believe that I am most sincere 

when I declare against you. 

But never could it be said enough

how sheerly drear, austere and insincere

that you are, my dear.

Though this may sound rather tough

I merely say what does appear.

For it's all of you I despise 

and for tolerability; at best;

you should steer.

Ha, I enjoyed the humour here Karissa. A novel idea, a bouquet of barbs. All those poisonous flowers grouped together for special effect. Nicy penned.
