Scent of Tuberose

I am a writer who cannot help but write    		
from early dawn to dusk I think and jot 	
each and every word is pure delight           
 		
I cannot state enough how eagerly I sought    		
those hours of tame that often gifted me                              
the rarest flowers of its sort, ... my lot                          	
 		
Sometimes I told my story on the moon for free  		
Sometimes I etched it on a star, such bless                 
its the joy of penning, who would disagree                             
 		
That a rhyming poem without excess   		
can be a flow of sweet compose		
there is no greater pass time, I confess                         	
 		
then letting a muse be your mentor of prose,           
each time it lingers, I smell the tuberose.

What a beautiful experience is the writing of poems ! The joy and delight one feels then is aptly compared to the delight one gets in smelling tube roses ! I love the heady, but pleasant scent of tube roses ! A lovely poem, dear Rose.

Loved the allusion to the tuberose. I admit I have never seen such a plant but it must smell sweet. Hugs
