~Placed First~

"Flowers, the emblems of beauty and fragrance proudly assert that loveliness can catch every eye and brighten even the gloomiest heart"    ~ By Poet

look at these white blossoms,
attired in snow white velvety frocks,
unassuming and elegant
under the canopy of the starlit sky. 
though tiny in size, 
en masse they exude a hypnotic charm. 

birthed in the stillness of night,
they proclaim their presence,
in dazzling white.
decked by dewy beads,
they dance freely unnoticed.
some perfume the air 
with exotic scent,
permeating the nightly breeze. 

during day, they wait to be garlanded, 
by the amber beams of the sun,
longing to be hugged and kissed 
by the amorous butterflies.

these simple beauties are the silent partakers,
of life’s most beautiful romance!

This is lovely, Valsa. I believe there is a line limit of 16. Maybe combine some of your shorter lines together!

A wonderful poem that celebrates the beauty and elegance of delicate white blossoms that thrive in the night, symbolizing quiet beauty and the intricate relationships in nature. It highlights the contrast between their nightly unnoticed existence and their yearning for the sun and butterflies during the day. Thank you for your constant support dear Valsa, all the best.

Dear sweet valsa! I see them as i read, and i smell the aromatic air and how beautiful is your way of word weaving! As i read yours i feel like, you really did capture an image through your words! And its so detailed and seamless, and its perfect! I especially love the lines “ they dance freely unnoticed. some perfume the air with exotic scent, permeating the nightly breeze. ” so beautiful and so touching! Such exotic diction too! They are romantic and gives an amorous ambience, i just love also the quote in this! Best wishes for the contest! Sending you light always, its a fave for me!
