Perennial Life of Lover's Lily
PERENNIAL LIFE OF LOVER’S LILY
O calla lily so vernal and briefly tall,
Rhizomic with graceful long leaf drift.
Eyes pleasure of a lover’s unending gift,
In pomp and splendor rain doth fall.
Calla’s greediness of greenery takes over.
Season’s rains slay her like a damaged cornstalk.
Suffocating in her own leaves, pleads, in shock -
To be buried in the plot, once more take cover.
Florid heart curvaceous in pink buds will sing.
This perennial debutante, she’ll stun.
Train of her tender leaves to remember the sun.
She will be all the rage come next Spring.
