Notes About The Poem

Stargazer Lily

Stargazer lily,

I always catch my breath
as I watch you dancing in your pretty pink party dress
twirling and swirling on a sultry summer breeze 


lovely lily

I truly adore your exotic fragrance, so sweet and alluring. 
how you blush bright pink as the sun shines on your pretty face 
and the way those cute freckles appear on your skin. 

Every year I look forward to your return 
Knowing how you’ll grace my garden with beauty and fabulous fragrance
