Line Gauthier Poet Imagism

Notes About The Poem

Wedding Bouquet

it was a
glorious sunny day
a day I would never forget

I waited till the flower shop opened
I was their first customer that morning

perfumes were rich and magnificent
I knew exactly what I came in to get

a few exquisite long stemmed roses
and the color had to be just right

peach on the side of salmon rosé
coral with the blush of tangerine
apricot with a hue of orangina

here there they were
and they were mine

my heart was
elated
