Notes About The Poem
I consider the picture on the right to a Narcissus..They have a wonderful scent..I have allergy and can't tolerate them inside but enjoy them in the yard..Narcissus starved from looking at his own reflection and from where he lay sprang up the Narcissus Flower..

A Jonquil of a Different Color

N__Native of Europe, North Africa, Asia
A__Amaryllis is its family name
R__Rich is this plant in scent like fantasia
C__Common name in English, Daffodil; your fame
I__ In history, Narcissus died from starvation
S__Sitting close to water fasinated by his own reflection.
S__Sitting close to White Jonquil soaking in its beauty
U__ Under a full moon now with my love's affection
S__Soaking in Narcissus' scent, my great birthday!

Now this looks like a very descriptive acrostic about the famous flower. Good job, Sara.
