Hibiscus

Oh,the Noble Hibiscus!
I love your vibrant colors 
Red,pink,yellow,white,
you are the harlequin wonder!

Oh,the noble hibiscus
I love your mushy velvet touch
such a soft pulpy skin you have
which I never want to crush

Oh,the noble hibiscus
I love your mild fragrance
that does not harm us
but certainly mesmerize

Oh,the noble hibiscus
I love your innocent grin
even in the agony(pluck)
make me think, Have I sinned?

Oh,the noble hibiscus
I love your geneorsity,
Appeasing nature,
and I adore your modesty

Oh,the noble hibiscus
Your beauty I can easily steal
Attaining your inner beauty
is still impossibly surreal

this is a GREAT ode. REally cute where you said "I love your innocent grin" to this flower.

What an awesome tribute to the noble hibiscus, Supraja! I've had several different coloured ones; their large, showy flowers are a pleasure to see. [If I'm not mistaken hibiscus tea is also available.] Regards // paul
