Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea can be seen,
Across the island it is quite a scene.
It blooms in many vibrant colors,
With large clusters it empowers.
Making our senses come alive,
Briefly it holds our mind captive.
As it drapes over walls, fences and porches,
And even hung between arches.
It loves the vibrant summer’s hot sun,
Displaying a beauty which can never be outdone.
What I do not understand to this day,
Why was it not our national flower anyway?
