Best Calla Poems
A Calla LilyA lily sits frozen upon a white mountain,
Overseeing the crimson sun.
Overseeing landscapes with striking ginger and emerald,
That even God dreams of such blissful sceneries.

Yet such a gentle gesture is unable to...

Who Will Love the Calla LilyAlas, I beseech you, Rose. How many have fallen to your elegant beauty? The curves of every petal, red as a ripe cherry, have called so many.
Next to the rose, who can love the Calla Lily? I am only a simple flower, beautiful, perhaps, only...

Calla LilyLone Lily
Unfurled in quiet repose
Grasped in the hands of the damned
Held under chin to capture the soul
Closed in the darkness
Of satin lined box
Never again to be gazed upon
It’s sweet scent lost to the living
Slowly fading as flesh melts
And all that remains…… ...

The Calla Lilly LadiesThe calla lily ladies pay a dainty little toll
to shade their face from beauty which will purify their soul.

unscented shapeless bodies with no luster to their mane)
Belief is not conceit received within a...

Calla LillyThe magnificent beauty
Unique in its appearance
Used since the days of Rome
Marked in the passage of winter solstices
Treasured and cherished
Lover of water, pure and elegant
Fragrant and bliss
With a tear drop center
Once gracing the royal gardens of Paris
Cut and resting...

strutting towards the sunset

Calla LilliesWhite trumpets rise, a silent, stark decree,
Their waxy bells, a whisper in the air,
Calla lilies, born of purity.
A single stem, a graceful embassy,
Where light and shade in subtle hues compare,
White trumpets rise, a silent, stark decree.
Their petals hold a promise, calm and free,
Of beauty born,...
