Florida Gardens -- Ten Words
Florida gardens boast menageries most marvelous—
Vermilion hibiscus nodding in the breathlike breezes
Infused with night-blooming jasmine and selenicereus scents.
Mockingbirds trilling like nightingales in the palm trees,
Twilight fading in the lush and dusky thickets…
Iguanas on perfumed frangipani blooming beneath
The luscious mangoes ripening on the bough;
And all overlain with pellucid starry skies…
Atavistically touching on my ancestral demesne
Like ripples on profound and placid pools
