Lustrous Alabaster White

Nacreous and opaline iridescence
Scattered through my gated garden
Million white tendered blossoms

Oozing intoxicating perfumed bursts
Most divine exotic jasmine
Beaded lily of the valley

Melodramatic calla lily
Trumpet playing lilium
Oversized amaryllis

Inspirited hyacinth
Lotuslike magnolia
Tall spiky foxgloves

Rock garden candytuft
Innocence of baby’s breath
Exalting nacre for my opalescent muse
