Fuchsia

Like a dainty ballerina on tiptoes  
            she graces summer’s stage in fine pose;
                      adorned in purple and red,
                         her tutu outspread.
                             Cascading
                              Fuchsia
                             parading
                     with perfect finesse
                 in velvet soft swaying dress.
          Waltzing to the rhythm of the breeze,
      she captivates flitting hummingbirds and bees.
