Ipomoea Macrantha

Ipomoea Macratha twist and turns climbing the trellis But it is not glossy green elongated leaves I relish Those flowers of white that appear at night really draw my fancy Soft and delicate with the Starfish design but only at night dances When sun goes down it is time for it to open and show its crown That beautiful white flower that loves the sun's end and going down The sweet potato is in this plant's family__that lucious food Some members of family are medicine after being stewed So influenced by the moon the flower opens wider when full Stays open longer when the moon gives it a high in daylight pull The ivory white that is so soft that it looks like white rose petals At the flower shows it should receive all the honorable metals Morning glory lunar flower best for entertaining in dark hours Just wait first bloom will appear then jealousy comes from those flowers

I love the imagery! And the relationship between the flower and the moon. It gives the flower great mystery. I really enjoyed this piece. Take care, -Mike.
