Bouquet of Flowers

In a crystal vase, a flower bouquet I arrayed: Iris flowers purple, yellow on its outer edge Interlaced with a layer of tulips burgundy-red Beholden to support of emerald green stems And gracing the center are tall pink rose buds Warning their sharp prickles not to interfere With romantic dreams of a budding ruby rose Unfolding slowly, and revealing just enough-- A mere glimpse at the stares of secret lovers. You stand there, admiring symphony of colors When evening sun peeks in, twinkling white crystal As your smile evokes verses of love, divulging so little Much like a first kiss, reluctant to say more. June 23, 2019 Poem of the day on June 25,2019 Placed 2nd: Your choice flower verse contest by Brian Strand
