Best Carnation Poems

With a slight glow of early morning sunlight

a single flower-bud unfolds bright

from its green protective wrap 

to serrated knap

revealing

soft pink 

appealing 

velvet petals of

a carnation, Mother's Love 

with a fresh spicy clove-like perfume

coursing through benignly and at last, consume

The pink flower that is called a carnation
I received a sad but yet odd invitation,

To a get together with all my family and no strangers
It seemed nice knowing there was no danger,

Why does everyone have a pink carnation
Is the color a symbol of elimination,

I feel...

The white carnation and red rose bouquet -
How beautiful it was with its array
of baby’s breath – as beautiful as she -
our innocent sweet girl, a bride -to – be.

It was so perfect for the special day.
The white carnation and red rose bouquet
she'd picked out...

Limerick : Once the UN wore a carnation

Once the UN wore a carnation
Now in the shade looks like damnation
Halls echo inane talk
House for rent at New York
Is UN ever on vacation ?

How softly sweetly,gently flowers pose
Carnation,orchid ,daffodil and rose.
Their intricate petals form a shield
Yet bees with  much striped force shall make them yield.
Appearances,both natural and contrived,
Mixed with the wiles of human nature thrive.
As, knowing not, we pluck the apple rare
And bite its flesh,with teeth we...

"Cherished; Loved,
Parting,
A blue rose bloomed.
Loyalty.
Then it was shattered,
Unfortunately.
On the ground,
Broken.
Swirling pieces,
Changing,
Morphing,
Rejected.
A new flower,
A new meaning.
A Carnation....

What a creation!
A creature of elation
Gave me a sensation
Of heart palpitation
It ate a carnation
In the midst of lunation
And grew with inflation
For such a duration
That held my fixation
Itself a flotation
Until it's deflation
And sunk for hydration
Spotted like a dalmation
Yet more like a crustacean
That gave me causation
To realize...

Warning for the storm the cast before the barrier dear god carrier me home, 
For the understanding may full understand is taken the truth under neath, 
The bird cage to set one free to bridge a ocean could shelter, 
The storm past and future tend...

Bright in colour
A glory of love
Zig-zag edges of the petals
A symbol of life-long worry of a mother
Layers of petals 
A symbol of the eternal love of a mother...

The jealous carnation
                   observes with piercing eyes,

I shower them all with life

The toy box made of plywood painted white
my grandfather built for me when I was three
has become a time machine
a tool of torture
Why haven’t I burned its contents to ash
as I did all his letters full of lies?
Within I find notebooks in which I penned...
