Garden of Delight

Saccharine Lyrics from the hummingbirds' coma
let her ballerina feet whirl in the grass.
Sleek chiffon of hers pet the bouquet's aroma
as fireflies puppeteer her dance class.
Dawn's aftertaste in her starts to amass.

Swan feathers in the lawn give her angel wings.
The Aubade is her halo in this blind light.
Evergreen brushes her aileron strings
while the serenade sets her into a flight.
Now a starlet in the garden of delight.
