Flowers

Kneeling upon a smile to touch the vine Scentful seeping in blissful sensation Leering beauty and plucking temptation Just one piece of nature's heaven divine Arose to steal a kiss from sunlight's ray Like morning's dew upon a suffused glow Facing the zephyr where the blossoms blow Where pollens aflutter towards the bay

Way to describe the flowers. Pollens aflutter, I like that part. Reminds me of the birds and insects carrying along the scent far across the land. Like the use of personification as well. Excellent word choice once again. Always, Laura
