Notes About The Poem

Written for My Aunt Louise, who loves Geraniums as much as I do.

The Geranium

Her soft pink petals are invitingly fresh and bright
Next to many others displayed in colors that delight
She sits and patiently awaits on greenhouse shelves
And prays she is soon chosen, as her heart swells

She smiles as the morning sunlight warms the air
As her earthy scent wafts and attracts with flair
Her magenta blooms are lightly covered in mist
Her petals stir, welcoming the moist dew kiss

She hopes the sweet geranium lady will soon be here
Then soon hears her voice as she's getting near
Her petals whimsically gleam as her growing stems invite
As she sits attentively waiting, feeling proud and sprite

She feels her pot lifted from the crowded greenhouse floor
Delighted she was chosen and excited for what's instore
Her feet are now planted at her new home in a beautiful pot
Displayed amongst her blooming friends in a bright cool spot
 
She smiles as the morning breeze tickles her new blooms
And her sweet lady admires her beauty and fresh perfumes
She vows to zealously grow, with her petals blooming strong
In hopes her blooms deliver delightful gifts all summer long

Victor Buhagiar November 19, 2024 at 10:07 AM It is very popular in Malta. Unfortunately, my small garden has little sun. The great variety of hues is a delight to see, especially when the plants have flowers of more than one colour. Hugs. Tania Kitchin November 19, 2024 at 7:09 PM Victor, thank you for your visit.
