Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

I Am a Water Lily

I AM A WATER LILY

When blue skies kiss whisper and ***** ripples quiver...

I drink on sun rays and bathe from falling rain,
I stand there afloat: graceful and reserve.
From pink petals shimmer,  I flush also a moonlit snow,
honeyed aroma I puff and puff chasing wind curves
thrilling some senses, awakening some nerves!

Upon gush and waves of bursting rainbow colors,
I lay atop, my rhizomes rise,  they waft....
Around my roots are croaking frogs and slimy eels, 
they thrive for I supply their daily meals.
Day by day in my life, I live to be pure,

my heart beckons heaven yet my roots down here...
Even if currents trample me and storms blow me,
upon seas and oceans, I trip like a sailing ship
but upon force, upon wonders I shall abide
giving my everything-- my best white shots!
