Poetry's For Sissies

Luscious scent of crimson flowers
Magical dance of eventide showers
Rolling hills dip to verdant valleys
  Poetry's for sissies, for girls named 'Aly'

Glittering stars illumine the night
Soaring falcons, majestic in flight
Dewdrops, now snowflakes, grace winter's map
  For cryin' out loud: Who writes this crap?

Ambrosial nectar, sparkling grapes on the vine
Floating on air, fueled by cognac and wine
Romantic poetry's fragrance cunningly slays---
  The fiercest of dragons at the end of the day

Jesse Rowe Date: 8/31/2018 4:55:00 AM I enjoyed this clever poem. I have definitely noted a glut of poems using such words as crimson, eventide, vermillion and a few others.
