Kim Rodrigues Poet Rondeau

Notes About The Poem

 

Chrysanthemum

CHRYSANTHEMUM 

Chrysanthemum, chameleon joy
King’s pleasure bud, a golden boy
A southern belle, snowball whiteout
Perfect for a desired night out
Welcome to her flirtatious ploy

Flashy pretty petals, not coy
A Purple frill ~ edged daisy joy
Fall dance of November hues shout
~ Chrysanthemum ~

Autumn flower tattooed with koi
Mums by that special girl or boy
A necklace purchased at the checkout
And love is what it’s all about
Riveting petals of great joy ~
Chrysanthemum
