Notes About The Poem

              

For inspiration I search license free photography and write according to what the image suggests to me. This is one of hundreds I have done. I intend on posting 100 examples of this type of writing.

Listen to poem:

Garden Scented Poetry

you looked directly at me with 
bright blueberry blue eyes
adorned with a sincere singular smile 

freshly planted baby droplets of dew bloomed
filling the air in a most unique bouquet 

your elegance scented the sprawling outdoors  
in a spring flower eau de cologne  
i exhaled a happy sigh 
proclaiming 'i have arrived'

shy as i am...i blushed 

my face went from a velvet peach tone
to a childlike jujube red

i knew i was in love
not another flower would i ever pick

still 
all that is you 
lines our bed
each and every petal

You place yourself within the picture sensitively, become one with the blossom. Georgia O'Keefe did this with her single flower and double flower works. I like the tenderness of this poem. Love, daver

"Freshly planted baby droplets of dew." My lips give a little dance reading this line out loud. Love the whole poem, but these few burbles make the whole special. Love, daver

I really love this, Armand! You took me by the hand through your emotions, displayed with vibrant colors and fruit. "blueberry eyes" "velvet peach tone" ... gorgeous phrasing.
