Sigrid Ermine Poet Rhyme

Worth of Nasturtium

Industrious buzz of solo bee search jackpots
Unashamedly trial diving in each lurid shell
Stickier with every trumpet he giddily accosts
Finds further stupor in fluted sweet compel

Ruffled taffeta petals burn, vibrant five
Three wiggle flame fingered fringe
Other two tatooed with burgundy stripes
From lettuce pincushion, stigma begins 

Sunray stamen sprawl in honey encomber
Moonstone luminous stems prop soft discs
Trajectory of butterfly nimbly discovers
Floating foliage furtively stows gifts

Dragon green bud shyly pokes firey tongue 
Slender tailed specimen, paisley tadpoles
Wrinkled brain seed pod trio, stem strung
drop to dappled damp below leaf parasols 

Peppery nutrients for permaculture novice
Exolosion rockets across neglected plots
Blue hued leaves store vitamins various 
Simmering subdues mustard sting hot

Cultivator pleased by brazen ease of transplant
Straight on dirt section masts round flags raised
Twine's gems invite insect activity, gaity radiant 
Vein laced faces sway atop secret paper blaze

Caren Krutsinger August 2, 2020 at 8:12 PM So beautifully penned - full of fantastic imagery. Liked your alliterations also. If I had a clapping emoji it would be clapping its hands off. Sigrid Ermine August 2, 2020 at 11:25 PM I'm honoured to have your kind comments and appreciation. There's no way I will (or would want to, honestly) - have the stamina for writing that you do. Kudos.

Sigrid Ermine August 2, 2020 at 10:11 AM Thanks, Silent One. Thank you for being honest. Most rhymes ( these) are in the 'approximate' category. Radiant and transplant are distant cousins! Let me know if you have a chance, more of what was unsettling. Directness is desired, valued.

Silent One August 1, 2020 at 8:29 AM Nice take on the contest, but I struggled with your rhyme scheme... Congratulations on your placement in the contest.. Sigrid Ermine August 2, 2020 at 10:15 AM Thank you, SO. Yes, rhyme here is pretty loose, radiant and transplant sound miles apart. If you have a chance, please provide your feedback and feeling on unsettling rhyme. Very pleased to take on direct advice.
