Kim Rodrigues Poet Lento

Purple Dahlias

Deep purple dahlias   -   plush garden zen
steeps in the moonlight hours. Zappiest buds
sleep in their flower beds - beautiful dreams.
Keep of dazzling pompoms - perpetual studs.

Blaze of royal beauty   ~   reign of kindness.
Praise of   Queen of Autumn   in twilight’s dim.
Sways, the ornamental puffs, sowed in dirt.
Daze of youth plucking stem. Love’s princely whim.

Maurice Rigoler June 11, 2021 at 11:17 AM They're not much for fragrance but their colors and size are spectacular. The park in my town grows them every year along with peonies. Old English peonie, via Latin from Greek paionia, from Paion, the name of the physician of the gods. I like them and their fragrance better than roses. / Maurice Kim Rodrigues June 11, 2021 at 12:41 PM Sounds wonderful, Maurice! Thank you for sharing!
