P is for Plants and Poems

I love plants, my thumbs get green just thinking about going out and planting ny containers. My front n' back yard, a profusion of blooms.Not quite, that is one of my dreams, lol. I joined Poets United this past year. A friend suggested I give it a try; thank you, Sherry ~    Sherry writes amazing poems and stories!

I love the process, sometimes I like what I came up with; other times, feel something  is lacking. It is a challenge.  I thought since I love flowers,plants and I'm mentioning poetry today. Why not combine the two. A challenge of writing a poem using names of plants. I love when you buy seeds, the unique colorful names, like Crazy Daisy, Moulin Rouge, Fireworks, and Cherries Jubilee.

Here is my attempt:

Impatien for full sun Psychedelic Spring dances and shouts

Look at me...

Summer Wine attracts many a suitor

Hardy Ivory Prince arrives on a carpet of Crystal Rose

In his path prodigal Red Riding Hood, her intensity is noted

Pixie Bells nod their heads

He bows to Queen Anne’s Lace n' King Slaw, on his way to Silver Bay

His staff did RSVPea

He lingers at Loves-Lies-Bleeding

He picks his beloved a  treasure, fresh off the vine a Black Pearl

Pristine White Wedding blooms hover,

Their snowy white performance is breathtaking

Four O’ Clock trumpets announce High Tea

Sophia arrives, pretty n’ tough her presence outstanding

Her Fancy Dress, rosy pink n' creamy white ruffles

Red breasted robins  nibble on Purple Majesty, spikes dusted with gold

Her Amber Kiss is bold n’ sensational

Deep midnight blue blooms, twinkle like stars in all their Morning’s Glory

By the Silver Bay

Buttery moonlight scrambles up vines clinging to time worn fence

 Profusion of the Northern Lights n' Dancing Stars lends

Promise of an enchanted evening.

 I sometimes paint my pots; I prefer them natural; they are easier to draw on.
