Notes About The Poem

Purple Petal Potpourri

Gathering a huge bunch, of the most fragrant purple flowers,
I made purple petal potpourri, creating joy to last for hours.
I combined plum roses and lilacs, irises, lavender and others,
Like the colorful birds of summer, looking for their lovers!

Gay days were at last here, and I had found my great desire,
To create the dark exotic scents, like sweet incense on fire!
The potpourri was so fragrant, that it lasted all the summer;
And drifted away into autumn, after spreading all its wonders.

Hi Evelyn, The way you use colors in your poems is likened to an artist painting on a blank canvas and causing the canvas to come alive. Your potpourri looks and smells amazing. Thanks for penning this gorgeous write. Have a good evening, my friend:-) Alexis
