Best Amaryllis Poems

Hippeastrum is my proper Latin name
I am so spectacular I simply put others to shame

From a large bulb my green shoots will grow
I dwarf the other plants I love to be on show

With my elevated position I look down on other plants
They are tiny in...

Wrote this for the contest but was to late as usual, guess the jokes on me.



My Amaryllis

Amaryllis your beauty so profound's me in the early spring
Brings off a beautiful scent as if your could initially sing
Calming effect for one and all to view and fully...

Despite my ravishing hunger
I am ever so full
The barrage of rolling thunder
Joins the moaning of the ghoul

The sun is blocked by clouds
The fog obscures my sight
While my soul is filled with doubts
I refuse to see the light

But the sun peeks through and shines
Despite the tyrant...

Amaryllis boasts,
Declaring her love,
Conquests flaunted,
Prideful and beauty,
Tower above,
Look at me? 
Deceivingly she calls,
Toxic and poisonous,
Voluptuous flower,
Her femme-fatale,
Expensive perfumes, 
Seducing oils
Relaxing massages,
Into her blossom,
Splendour with elegance,
Her victims
Die!...

Actually two of them
Were bought
Though quickly one of them died

In a clearance shelf 
At Target
to raise one never tried

The remaining bulb
for five or six years
In varying stages of life

Almost succeeding
In doing it in
by horticulture most blithe

On the porch last summer it
put on two leaves
that were...

Splendid beauty accounts for her shape
Tall and fragile she stands within grace
Her heart blossoms timely with anticipation
As she gives privilege to those around her gate
Her aura always seen above ground
Silky is her hair flowing like passion in the night
Subtle creases amazing to touch
Every part her...

O BELLADONNA AMARYLLIS!


Lovely petals in bloom
A bride and a groom
A honeysuckle room
a tiny seed

Gathering the sheaves
Greenback leaves
For her folded sleeves
a watered seed

Rosewater wife
Healthy strife
A perfect life
a split pea

A former bach*
Time tick tock
Pregnant frock
naked ladies breathe

Amaryllis a tall slender stem,
reminds me of a model,
topped with a beautiful face.
A symbol of strength and
determination.
Began from a tiny bulb,
humble beginnings.
With tender loving care
grows into a beauty inside
and out....

Godmother fashioned the most gorgeous crown for Amaryllis’ head.
Bronze, blush, butterscotch, eggshell, mango with hints of red.
Her friend said, “blush, mauve, opal, peach, sand, and seashell.”
Amaryllis Elf noted then that these colors were represented as well.
She had never noticed the plethora of colors amaryllis could...

Planted too late in the season
 they missed the beauty of the Christmas rush
 when evergreens, mistletoe and hollies blushed
but now, with a little soil, water, warm sun hookup
 the amaryllis stretches high and up,
 tall and gangly, lank and lean
 but on sturdy thick...

I got an amaryllis bulb,
Which was a lovely gift.
I knew that when it flowered,
It would give my heart a lift.

For weeks, the stalk was growing,
Then some buds came into view.
Now there’s one amazing flower;
Soon, it seems, there will be two.

When I looked for information
About amaryllis...
