Notes About The Poem

Winsome Wisteria

Winsome Wisteria

Eden open your arms to grace
Wisteria's soft petaled blooms
Draped stunningly about Spring’s face
In shades of lavender like plumes.

Your scent wafts heady in the breeze
When racemes descend from above.
Divine as the flowering trees
Your sight captures my heart with love.

Goddess Venus must be aware
Of the glory that you bestow.
Like dangling ringlets in Spring’s hair
Wind sprinkles your petals below.

When over the arbor you vine
I'm deeply moved by your presence
You loom aesthetically divine…
Transporting me with your pleasance.

No, it is not my home. I am not even sure if Wisteria will grow here in Hawaii because it may be too tropical for them. I think they like a bit more sub-tropical weather like they have in Sydney where I first saw the wisteria growing. Thank you for your nice comment Jo. I am heading for bed now. Nite :)

Thank you very much Lynn. In what part of the country do you live? It always stays warm here in Hawaii with about 10 degrees cooler in winter. I haven't seen wisteria growing here, I believe it is too warm. Blessings, Connie

Eden meaning the garden of pleasure. That second picture is astheticly surreal. Thanks for sharing the attraction in your writing of winsome wisteria.

Thank YOU Holly! I enjoyed writing this poem because there is just no flower more breathtaking that seeing these fragrant blooms hanging down from an arbor. It is an unforgettable sight. I first saw them in person in Sydney Australia. I wanted to hang out there all day! ; )
