Fantastic Flora Masquerade

Creeping creepy creepers, the crawling trellis jutting out of everywhere snaking through country and metropolis twisting turning in floral bliss but more like snakes that hiss But in quietude feign death for self-defense! Weeping willows with an unreal surreal sorrow weeping tears of dew onto the silted furrow. Perhaps weeping for bretheren felled in deforestations and land clearings in my imaginations of the call to preservation. Against ethnic cleansing of greenery for selfish building As per man's construction for mere recreation Velvety-green tear- stained faces or rather foliage When dew is stuck on them as nature's trinkets of pearls. And over there touch-me-nots swaying coyly like prim and proper maidens in the fantastic floral gardens. And what in the world is this case? Imitation flowery in place of imitation jewellery? Yeah, thats poinsettia in a vase Leaves in the disguise of flowers Its actual flowers relegated to backstage. And ethereal fairy-slippers await their never coming wearers and Indian pipes to be admired by Red Indian sightseers. Oh and here's another spectacle- but sniper tactics this time Yikes! Let the naive insect world beware! Whilst the bloodthirsty killers lie in ambush Those camouflaged jungle guerrillas or should we say the venus fly-traps! Or a more harmless one yet mimicking the scary A snap-dragon flora, its mouth opening and snapping shut. Then watch that mega-sized jumbo giant flora The world's largest flower No stems, no leaves, plant-eater plant, rafflesia. Is it too much for the faint-hearted ha ha. And wow now watch that incredible costume, oh my! A flower masked as some pesky fly! None other than the remarkable fly orchid. And yet another, the silent music of the fiddlenecks Fiddles as if for the light-weight fairies. And lastly not forgetting ofcourse the sky-blue unforgettable forget-me-nots A memorable bouquet but themselves devoid of memory. Ah nature lover poets if you wish to view more of flora in a fancy dress masquerade Go ahead and flip through the pages of a botanical, floral horticultural pictorial journal. And see for yourself the fantastic flora's charade or else imagine them dressed as a floral renegade!
