Flower Bud In the Garden

A young bud, I’m awakened by Bells of Ireland and a magnificent Morning Glory, Baby’s Breath and Freesia near my cheek. Larkspur and Delphinium happily look on as blissfully I sun myself throughout the morn surrounded by an ever-present bright array of beauty! Enchantingly time passes as I take notice of Lavender’s allure and the grace of Queen of Lace; the charm of Jonquille, Jasmine, and Gardenia. Pansy, Tulip, Peony, and Petunia want to play, swaying gleefully with Buttercup and fellow Gladiola. Periwinkle seems to wink at me as I sneak a peek at pretty Primrose in repose. However, when sweet Violet I spy, she always shrinks so shyly from my gaze. I’m cheered by Chrysanthemum and yellow Daffodil. Marigold and Sunflower never fail to make me smile; Magnolia and Myrtle nod hello to me and Forget-me-not reminds me she is there! Through the whole sweet afternoon, fair Lilac’s scent permeates the air. Soon enough Sun bids us all Adieu. I then see white against the fading light - Iris, Lily, Narcissus, Limonium and Rose. Inhaling Orchid’s heady fragrance through the night, I slumber in tranquility, wondering in dreams. . . what flower I’ll be blossoming into! For SandyIvy's "My own little Garden" Poetry Contest
