Joseph May Poet Pantoum

Garden of Blooms

She is the flower in the garden of dreams
 Awaiting her butterfly on the summer breeze
 A sip of nectar where her beauty beams
 Kissing her petals with seductive tease

 Awaiting her butterfly on the summer breeze
 Fluttering to the rhythm of her heartbeat
  Kissing her petals with seductive tease
 Her fragrance alluring, ever so sweet

 Fluttering to the rhythm of her heartbeat
 A monarch in flight to her garden of blooms
 Her fragrance alluring, ever so sweet
 Basking in sunshine as her passion looms

 A monarch in flight to her garden of blooms
 A sip of nectar where her beauty beams
 Basking in sunshine as her passion looms
 She is the flower in the garden of dreams
