Lily Bloom

Lily bloom
   opening wide eyed and colorful collide
        in the sun of mid afternoon.
Bouquet blends abound 
   and hues relayed in the colors found;
     creamy yellow sunrises, starlight glimmers, 
     ivory bells, red eyed tiger fills that shimmer;
      purple haze in red sox crimson  
      pink persuasion garnets visions;
   angel choirs of arabesque dreams, 
   bittersweet belladonna dark schemes;
     brushstroke cavalese, doeskin elise, 
     graffiti tapestries. panache butterflies at peace;
      lace fantasy scherherazade, royal trinity renoir,
      stargazer siberian sorbet bazaars;
     magic starbursts of sultry melodies,
     trumpet notes with messages and imaged memories.
Productive and illustrious bulbs
   step lively thru the day of earth's bountiful display
   short and tall, buddings rise as green unfolds.
Border lilies bow to the sides
   and in between the flow of the colors glow
   openings sway in breezy tides.
The lilies increase and multiply
   one bud alone is tough with beauty never enough 
   as numbers reach to touch the sky.
Lily blooms no longer just white
   take in the rainbow for the show
   to breathe and bloom, a ballet dance in flight.
