petunia Prays in the pew A funnel shaped flower Petulant to pettle The petty officer's Phallus. petunia Makes earnest petiton, A deep redish purple Showing sudden impatience For the inlisted man's Pestle. petunia Perfects her worship, A melodic soft velvet Reciting impassioned pleas For the Pontifex's Poppycock. petunia Flutters above paradise, Tremulous and agitated Peaked with peace offerings For that patrician's Peeper. petunia Patrols the parapet, Her sweet scented petals Have a penchant for Patrick. It's Passion Week For the penetrant papa.

A complex poem that invites multiple reads. Petunia's charms + seduction spark a vivid presentation of her allure. Remarkable alliteration + personification too. Best wishes, Brian
