Nette Onclaud Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

 

Iris

Dainty as a maiden embellished in deep violet,
She flutters through grassland, emitting a tangy perfume
And her bodice, luscious, drifts on an organza garment 
That reflects queenly admiration from a sunlight blessed:

How butterflies wheel around this goddess’s appointed space
Cruising, parading to endow their dear noblest regard,
Till she blushes in a dance to a crowd gasping aloud
To applaud her womanly entrance, her spring's majesty!



Personification Of A Plant Contest by Kim Rodrigues

Aju Mukhopadhyay September 20, 2017 at 12:24 PM I have just read few Nette Onclaud poems-they are romantic pieces; nostalgic, narrative with some sentiments but surely good with happiness about them. I wish her going for more perfection according to her own way.
