Hibiscus

You're a Flower in My Garden 8 to 12 lines
Sponsored by: Tania Kitchin

3rd place


Red in colour, trumpet-shaped,
Showy and conspicuous,
I’m known by the name Hibiscus.
I adorn your garden like Eden,
Birds, bees and butterflies
Fondly come to me 
For a deep drink of nectar.
A variety of wildlife amidst you,
What a kaleidoscope to watch!				
I fall right after I bloom,
But my life doesn’t end then;
I’m a remedy for diseases many.
