Bird of Paradise

Unearthly exotic beauty Surely meant for deity Known as crane flowers to some Most exquisite curiosity bar none Audacious hues of orange and blue Divine perfection powerless to construe Its fanlike display of utter magnificence Gives way to engage in amorous poetic license To you my love no other flower will do You are my paradise my heart flies home to you AP: Honorable Mention 2020, Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on May 30, 2019 for STANDARD CONTEST 400 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - HONORABLE MENTION Originally posted on February 20, 2019

Dear Line: These flowers are surely one of nature’s wonders. Thanks for the honor of a visit today and for calling me home. Been a while since I visited my ‘Soup family.’ Hugs, SuZ

My late father grew some of these when I was a kid; they're so elegant. Well penned.
