Gladiolus

Florid elegance ablush
Nestled in gardens lush
Pigments triumph aplenty
Resilient verdant sentry

Colossal erectile shoots
Ingrain deep abyssal roots
Precious tis platinum spun
Abreast arising sun

Glorious tis supple reign
Aubade beauteous engrain
Vibrant sword lily plant
Borne on Gaia’s decant

Traverse archaic path
Helios waning wrath
Shadows await dusk
Abscond obliging musk

This is so dense. The word play grabs the mind. It is so tight. Maybe written by a master. You know, I come away from lots of poems saying I don't get it. This has got me. I like it and appreciate being challenged by the author. Challenged to think about a thing as common as a garden. Making the familiar new and different again. There are lotsa very poetic phrases in here. Keeping going, you've got some good stuff.
