Best Azalea Poems

I come from Valdosta, Georgia, the lovely peach state,
Where everyone uses a southern drawl to communicate.
Valdosta is known as the “Azalea City” for its gorgeous flowers.
In the spring this splendid sight has a captivating power.

I’m afraid the azaleas are forgotten by the summer,
When it gets...

My memories wander and my heart goes back to another place,
Where the people are warm and genuine, and have that Southern grace.
It’s known as the Azalea City, with the magnificent March flowers,
Where they savor the flower, instead of rushing to happy hour.

What can be fairer and just then, 
the beauty of your plush pink skin.
In the moonlight, your beauty glimers in pink 
as does the moon, 
over the tripping waves of the peaceful sea.
In sunlight, the light catches your skin 
and flirts with my eyes, 
as...

I bought your favorite color nail polish today.
On a whim of missing you.
And I painted my nails with a mixture
Of Azalea Red and tears

It strengthens them, you know
Keeps them from chipping and breaking.
Like me.
You keep me from chipping and breaking.

I thought of you as I...

Azalea! Belle of the ball
Elegant stylish grace,
Flowing swirls,
Shades of pink satin
Air of sophistication,
Awakening imaginations 
Love and nature,
Played a part,
Warm breezes swayed,
Different dream worlds,
Dancing emotions waltzed,
Romance bloomed,
Midnight hopes disappeared,
Twelve o’clock struck,
Cinderella! 
A fairy tale,
But for Azalea,
She remains
Always and forever,
A very beautiful flower.

AZALEA BUSH

you ask me to trim
the bush outside (near the steps)
which has grown unchecked
for twenty years.

it is a true monstrosity.

you hand me the shears, 
tell me to trim it back
a little.  take some branches
off here and there.  your instructions

are always implied, never specific.

Swamp Azaleas

Cloying sticky sweet white trumpets;
Summer heat transports the robust attar
Of azaleas from damp, resinous fens.

Their high notes flirting with the low
Construct complex, exultant perfumes 
Nimbly blended in the season’s tepidity.
