Song of The Anemones No 4: AABB

"*Oui, the winner, American Beauty,"
yet hail these 'Windflowers' Anemones,
flourished yon 'Down Under', 'Aussiszlanders,
indeed a showstopper for bystanders
of all but Europe, Turks, then South due East.
Breed buttercup, yet, some toxic; no feast,
bold capped to stop at bowls use; bowels feared,
not ground hugger, but mid-road, four feet cleared.
Eye catchers, nose losers; scent attracts foes,
begs Ruth from deer, rabbits ... cuts Atropos,
relevant, floral events, vast numbers,
eyes lacking, vainglory lapping ... wonders.
Attract bees, butterflies, and egotism,
flowers have that novel effect on schism.

Vijay Pandit January 1, 2024 at 6:07 AM Awesome photo--such dazzling color and beauty! Enjoyed your ode --enjoyed this song of flora, William. William Kelii Kekaula January 1, 2024 at 7:05 AM The photo was a closeup and PS seems to have curtailed the outstretch by premeasured settings so as not to exceed. Good of them, and to you as well, Vijay. Aloha, William
