Notes About The Poem

Petunia

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
