Notes About The Poem

For Tania Kitchin's You're a flower in my garden poetry contest - personifcation 

Lupine

I greet the mild sun,
as it ascends among peach and lilac hues.
Its golden rays caress pearly dewdrops,
resting upon my verdant leaves. 
My conical purple and pink petals stand tall
against dawn's breeze, as I gently sway, 
dancing to nature's timeless rhythm.

I can hear the sweet call of the Chickadees,
as cheeky chipmunks raid brimming bird feeders.
Some claim I am controversial and invasive,
but I am a beacon of resilience -
a haven for bees and butterflies.

SO, there are some in my family who love lupini beans. There are a lot of varieties, and yes, some are invasive. The flowers you describe are beautiful. It's a sweet poem.

Such a beautiful choice. I love the name and the colours. "dancing to nature's timeless rhythm." The flowers never get exhausted from that rhythm. Lovely written as always Silent.

a personification that is done very well this is, i love the picture youv used and also how youv described this flower in such a picturesque manner. So creatively captivating and so breathtaking! You give poetry a whole new flavor that is worth all the accolades. I love the opening lines, very straightforward, as you start with “ i greet the sun” a flower that loves the sun i can imagine, as i read that. And i love also how youv written “ My conical purple and pink petals stand tall” gorgeous

Dear Silent One your poem revolves around the plant's intricate bond with its environment, including the sun's shine, dewdrops' charm, birds' songs, and insects' motions. Also, it explores the plant's inherent traits and reason. The poem is packed with vivid imagery, capturing the vibrant colors and elegant shifts of the plant. Including evocative terms like "gentle sun," "gilded beams," "lush foliage," and "conically-shaped petals in shades of purple and pink" vividly depicts the plant's setting.

Dear Silent One, This is a lovely tribute to the lupines. Their shapes look like a miniature tree. You must have woken up in a flower bed or how else did you get in the lupines head? LOL I just had to say that..
