April Showers Bring May Flowers- For Anacreontic Verse 3

Anacreontic Verse 3

Cool crystal raindrops
scrolled down the palm leaves 
swishing and drooling 
over sloping eaves
The scarlet lilies
reddening their cheeks
bugled open to
the bees tranquilly 
snoring in their hives 
under painted roofs
Last eve I sat in 
the shady arbour
luxuriously
enjoying the rain 
playing salsa with 
these blooming girls in
crimson skirts in a
signature scented 
floral studio
painting hues of red


20 lines of 5 syllables each
