Best Chrysanthemums Poems

I’ve always loved the chrysanthemums
Bulbs of yellow, purple, orange, and red,
Filling in blank spaces in the flower bed
Perfect perennials appearing in large sums.

We always called them “mums,” for short
Loved making corsages of the white ones,
Sometimes they remind us of colorful suns
I’m told a favorite flower...

Sonnet LXXII

Coming from the Greek "krus anthemon" 
Heroic as the name implies, hath told
Revitalised each myth that once upon
Yearns wonder while a bunch of these I hold, 
Sufficient is the splendid orb that says, 
Another legend shuns the said sunrise
Note all, have in abundance grand...

A mother chrysanthemum is blooming
On the side of a footpath were  
People are hurrying to and fro 

It stood quietly with the defiance of the people 
Showing a scene that looks coincidental 
Being ignored or not by the thinking eyes 

Just bloomed for its...

The Crysanthemums don’t know what to do
It was cold, now it is hot, colors are fading too
Some blossoms wilting, but the rest still alive
A mixture of beauty until weather takes a dive
When winter rolls its white carpet relentlessly
Leaving the cold snowflakes on the plants to...

the ideal place
if/when ye dear reader 
experience maddening rage 
(against the machine) 
causing ordinarily calm demeanor

I glance over
A rose in bloom
Or a gold Egyptian tomb
You look the same as you did last October

I make sure to visit you every day
The sky always looks gloomy
The space between us is too roomy
I can’t bring myself away

I wish I was closer to you
Barriers...

at least last half century

local tropical paradise beckons

imbibe fragrant aroma,
espy splash of color on hillside

In that time when the leaves 
Are on fire,
Sparks from the autumn sun, 
I return
To my place of nurturing 
And ancestors.....
It’s there that sleep becomes 
A deepened slumber,
And those old forgotten dreams surface once 
More, like a cork 
From a floating bottle,
A discarded life 
Coming...

Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums arrive in fall
 Yellow, white, maroon or rusty;
Some grow short – some grow tall -
 They bloom when stormy winds blow gusty.

You always loved reading 
I was never one for it 
You lent me one of your books 
It still remains in my possession 

You were my favourite book, you opened up to me so easily 
Your cover was the most pulchritudinous 
Little did I know...
