Gladiolus

Florid elegance ablush Nestled in gardens lush Pigments triumph aplenty Resilient verdant sentry Colossal erectile shoots Ingrain deep abyssal roots Precious tis platinum spun Abreast arising sun Glorious tis supple reign Aubade beauteous engrain Vibrant sword lily plant Borne on Gaia’s decant Traverse archaic path Helios waning wrath Shadows await dusk Abscond obliging musk 3/15/2022

This is so dense. The word play grabs the mind. It is so tight. Maybe written by a master. You know, I come away from lots of poems saying I don't get it. This has got me. I like it and appreciate being challenged by the author. Challenged to think about a thing as common as a garden. Making the familiar new and different again. There are lotsa very poetic phrases in here. Keeping going, you've got some good stuff.
