Edward Ibeh Poet Monchielle Stanza

Notes About The Poem

Wondrous Frangipani

Wondrous frangipani...
      You mesmerize me so.
        Like a fan, I twirl you
      Between my fingertips;
    Striking yellow-white hue!

        Wondrous frangipani...
  You're the most eye-catching
     Of all the spring flowers;
         A captivating sight
         After April showers.

       Wondrous frangipani...
         Beautiful as a tree;
     Lovely in women's hair.
   Stirred by a gentle breeze,
   Your scent wafts in the air.

       Wondrous frangipani...
      Catnip to bumblebees;
    Hordes of butterflies, too.
    Show-stealer in gardens;
     Gift to a day brand new!
