Bougainvillea

BOUGAINVILLEA

   At entrance of my villa, marvelous bougainvillea
  swings branches holding bunches of blossoms in opulence
  on variance of colors as purple, pink and white
  bright brilliant in gesture, hanging in clusters,
  once hit by a bluster of gust lasting for hours.
  Storm with showers whirled flowers fast and faster
  ending in disaster causing the creeper to fall.

  As rains ceased, I came at gate, being upset,
   but simply enchanted to descry the beauty
  of a flower bed lying on my yard.

  So long to watch the hardy creeper 
  covering gate with blooms to glow in frolic flow
  up above and sideways.                                                                                                                                                   
  First time I was startled to disovecr the charm
  of a flower bed of bougainvillea.                                                                                                                                                 

 Gardener erected bougainvillea again to regain
  its firm posture to adorn my gate gorgeous.

Connie Marcum Wong April 17, 2019 at 10:17 PM This flower has a charm all its own with its delicate blossom on sturdy bush that will vine so beautifully and even grow into a tree that worships the sun. You have expressed its charms beautifully in your winning poem Anisha. Congratulations! xxoo
