Bouquet Of Flowers

Free Verse

In early June, down a country road

Where all the spring flowers bloom

 

Pale Pink Tulips that open to kiss the sun

On sturdy stems stiff like starched laundry 

 

Above Sakura's double pink incipient efflorescence  glamour,

An opulent delight for the human eye..

Dulcet taste to entice the near by bees

 

Those bees who enjoy Pampas Grass

That flowers of such elegant white

 

Let me pick Tulips by six

Pampas Grass in threes

 

Prune Sakura limbs to help make a bouquet complete

Snip eight Jonquils whose blooms of sunny yellow please

 

Gather some White Narcissus who guard the garden gate

How their blooms' fragrance remind me of such a spring day

 

Wisteria gone wild draping all the trees

Gather some to hang from the vase for me

 

Serendipity __hidden under the trailing vine_

Purple Hyacinth ancient flower graced with ardent aroma

Sumptuous sturdy green stems

Let me gather plenty to add to my halcyon day

When I see the word "flowers" in a poem title, I must read it..
This poem covers what might bloom in early spring..love to see that now,
A nice poem to read, in the middle of the night of the year.

A line that caught my attention:
"Above Sakura's double pink incipient efflorescence glamour.."
You state "double pink" I am thinking Kwanzan.. am I right?

Beautiful poem.....:-)
Thank you

A beautiful collection of flowers for a beautiful bouquet. Such a sunny, warm and positive view of summer in your poem. Such a delight all the way around.
