Beauty Pageant
The judges sat in a row
Looking over the contestants
The decisions were hard
There were no flaws among them
The capillary action
Watered the plants
Keeping them
Healthy
The stems were
Sturdy
Holding the flowers
Vertical
The colors varied in hues
Appear the same
In each plant
To the naked eye
The shapes varied
According to
The type of
Flower
Each flower had their own
Personalities
Loving, welcoming
Affection it, fickle
The judges could not pick
A single winner
They were all
A ten
A judgment had
To be made
They came to a conclusion
The decision was difficult
They all came
In first
They were voted as
A bouquet of flowers
Be Careful What You Wish For
The little egg was orphan
On a leaf in a garden of flowers
It laid there during the winter Months
Come spring it hatched
Saw itself as a segmented worm With three pairs of true legs
Six pairs of pro legs
With claws to climb the stems
And ate the leaves
Was able to move in a wave like Pattern from back to front
With no bones
Only muscles
With twelve eyes
Arranged in a semi circle
It looked around and saw
Comely flowers
With a sigh
The caterpillar wish that
When grown his appearance Changed and be beautiful
In time the caterpillar
Spun a cocoon
Died inside
With stem cells recreated
Metamorphism took place Emerged as a butterfly
The Monarch was awed
By the transformation
Looked for a mate
Eggs were laid
On stems and leaves
Destiny completed
As the Monarch
ego inflated
A net came over
The captured Monarch
Was place in a frame
Covered with glass
To be admired
Forever
Be careful
What you
Wish
For
Flower Garden
The language of flowers
Need not be oral
They represent meanings
Without words.
The entrance to the garden
Lattice trellis was surrounded
By Starwort and Wisteria
Welcoming all
Going down the path are flowers signifying love
Jasmine, Gardenia Carnation, Red Roses, Myrtle Nasturtium, Tulip
The childhood flowers of
White Lilly, Buttercup, Primroses
brings tranquility of Stonecrop with remembrance of Rosemary
Periwinkle tender recollections
The Quince of temptation
The courage of Protea
The good cheer of Poinsettia
Line the path
On exiting the appeals
Of For-get-me not
Farewell from Michaelmas Daisy
Think of me pleads the Pansy
Just outside the exit
Is your destiny
A reminder from the
Camellia
The language of flowers
Need not be oral
They represent meanings
Without words.
