Lovely Frangipani Petals

It was in the beautifully majestic Florida Keys Where I visited with my beloved grand-mother She introduced me to the frangipani with its luscious clusters The fragrance was bewitchingly inebriating Soon I couldn’t distinguish the petals from the butterflies Twilight had gradually descended without a sound Till the mockingbirds bellowed their glorious chants Amidst the enchantment of an ancestral menagerie Like royalty, we slowly sipped from delicate pellucid crystal glasses Vermilion and gold had infused the ripples of the ocean before us AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted for contest TEN WORDS AND TEN LINES CHALLENGE sponsored by SILENT ONE - January 6, 2018 - RANKED 2ND
