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
.....................
*A purple iris symbolizes wisdom and compliments
* words ' goddess's' and 'luscious' have 2 syl count

Aju Mukhopadhyay Date: 9/20/2017 12:24:00 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. Login to Reply
