Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

O Belladonna Amaryllis

O BELLADONNA AMARYLLIS!


Lovely petals in bloom
A bride and a groom
A honeysuckle room
a tiny seed

Gathering the sheaves
Greenback leaves
For her folded sleeves
a watered seed

Rosewater wife
Healthy strife
A perfect life
a split pea

A former bach*
Time tick tock
Pregnant frock
naked ladies breathe

Chris Green June 30, 2017 at 10:40 AM This was beautiful and very creative Kim. I grow Amaryllis in my garden. They bloom once a year but are so beautiful. I like your comparison of the bloom to birth. Kim Rodrigues June 30, 2017 at 10:43 AM Thanks so much, Chris! The title came toward the end as I had a recollection about this flower! I love when that happens!

Lin Lane June 30, 2017 at 8:32 AM A wonderfully clever comparison between the seedling birth of lovely flowers and the seeding of a child, and through proper channels. ;-) Well done, Kim. Kim Rodrigues June 30, 2017 at 8:53 AM Thanks, Lin :)
