Rhododendron

Oh! floriferous, bold, roseate ebullience of May, Alluring doting sights welcome-vibes you convey Gracing edges, where the roses and azaleas sway Forming resplendent ballet of multicolored array; O rhododendron, flamboyant in euphoric morn, Flaunting flaming-purple how gardens you adorn Where hummingbirds frolic and butterflies play And bell-shaped showy blossoms greet sunny day As jubilation of spring, breezing your realm serene, Revels in whorls of petals pristine, as you preen, Boasting hints amethyst on elegance evergreen Sprinkling perfumed ambiance on tempo upbeat Where pulse of romance strums passionate beat Lauding floriferous display, as if a flower bouquet; O rhododendron~ roseate, ornate beauty of May!

Vijay, you have created such a remarkable poem with your writing. As is customary for you, your use of metaphors, along with the elegance and profundity of your diction, has bestowed a lovely fascination upon your excellent writing. You not only portray the brilliant magnificence, but you also give this flowery waltz the impression that there is a love melody playing in the background. My connection may be spotty while I'm on a cruise to Alaska, so please excuse any inconvenience this may cause.
