Poem Title:
Poem
I was a successful, fashionable florist, in mild green days of elegant gardens, When an orange sun beamed its pleasure, like locales where lavender begins. I formed arrangements for many occasions, drawing beauty lovers from afar, As pretty planets arrange for a meeting, after wild rumors of the newest star. And crowded hours were filled with summer, like pearly dews crowd morning, Until ruby butterflies are playing tag, and gemmed damselflies are swarming. Friends felt I might always be found, in some area of flush bloom fragrancies, Like raven midnight's march to daybreak, with its warm, varicolored agencies. Fond family held festive feasts, in fading hours of sparkly, fuchsia sun falling, As whippoorwill songs clashed with red robin's, midst magenta stars gawking. I lived in the house of tangy, saturated noon, when flowers were in full glory, Like the most beautiful day of a woman's life, when a bride she's come to be. Scarlet, saffron and other hues glittered, within the soulful sector of summer, As starlings sang songs along my street, and sun rose and retired, a stunner! Neighbors were nomadized at times, as honeydew moon nestles in new night, When visiting me on eves of silk and satin, when fresh June was at its height. Silver clouds were saddled with summer sun, in suddenly days of sweet rose, Like grey encumbering smoke from autumn fires, when in plum mists it flows. Raven noon was in green treetops, as the inarticulate ravens were squawking, And fading time seemed to stand still, but ephemeral moments kept walking. One day I woke to a gorgeous view from my window, daisies pink and yellow, In the wide field right next to my house, glowing in the rich, sunshine mellow! It put such a smile on my face, oh my! Like flocks of pretty blue jays going by, And I kept seeing daisies everywhere I went, like a pearlescent moon on high! I beheld African daisies and shasta, and pom pom-like chrysanthemum ones; Along with fine lustrous gerberas, in all colors found, in wild green kingdoms. I wondered at my strange, good fortune, in seeing beloved blooms anywhere; Like the young, butterscotch days when Mother said, 'We're going to the fair!' For awhile, I saw sweet daisies by day, and it seems I dreamt daisies at night; Like a brief mystic spell of rapture, when hidden beauty's freed from its plight.
