Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Vase of Purple Flowers

A vase of purple flowers
Makes a table, drab and plain,
Into something much more festive,
Like a place to entertain.

Though no visitors are needed,
For each lovely vibrant bloom
Brings a warm and cozy feeling
When I walk into the room.

It amazes me how something
Like a corner-store bouquet
Can add such a dose of sweetness
To an ordinary day.

Darlene De Beaulieu August 28, 2021 at 3:58 PM Hello Ilene, yes it brightens up a room. it makes a person feel cheery. Hugs.

Rico Leffanta August 28, 2021 at 11:52 AM If they are lilacs, one can enjoy the fragrance as well, but lilacs in August in NYC? Enjoyed! Ilene Bauer August 28, 2021 at 12:00 PM I think they’re called alstroemerias, but I’m not 100% sure. No fragrance. I guess in Hawaii you must see beautiful flowers all the time…
