Skeleton Gardens POTD

Afterlife Azaleas rise as apparitions 
Bony Buttercups bathe in blooming moonlight 
Cobweb Carnations cater to crystal chaos
Deathly Daffodils dance to the eternal dusty doors
Eerie Evening Primroses prance to ethereal exits
Frightening Foxgloves flame their foliage 
Ghostly Geraniums gleam and gallop over graves
Haunting Hydrangeas heighten hollow horrors
Ivory Impatients inject inspiration to the expiring 
Jumping Jack O'Lanterns jam with jazzy jumps 
Kaleidoscope Kaffir Lilies knock with knowledge 
Longing Leaves linger before gossamer winds
Mourning Marigolds muse misery moody moments 
Nocturnal Narcissus notice nosy narratives
Occult Orchids oscillate with opulence operas
Phantom Pansies passionately prance proudly 
Quivering Queen Anne Lace questions life and death 
Reaper Roses reach for regal radio reservations 
Skull Sunflowers stalk silky spinning sullen souls
Tombstone Tulips talk with trembling terrors
Umbrella Plants understand the underworld 
Vampire Voilets voice with their teething violins 
Witchy Wildflowers wax and wane with spells 
Xylophone Xeranthemums x-ray cryptic blueprints 
Yearning Yarrows yielding to the sobbing youth 
Zombie Zinnias zip and zag zooming to the zenith
