Best Gladioli Poems
Rainy Days and Mondays...It's Monday
The day of the dead leaves and fresh flowers
The dry and wet hours
Like the other days
Of life and death
The desert and the lake
Thousands of the little ponds
The debris wa......

The Gold Leaf Kiss...She surrenders her all oranges and apples
To his crimson basket of throbbing warmth

And cloak her snowflakes in wools of love
They are like two entwined tre......

The Disquieting Threat of Hazardous Blooms...I avoid florists, not the people,
who generally speaking,
are polite and quite unremarkable.

eugenically forced greenhouse geraniu......

Put a handsome

In the right hand corner
Near the window
Put some white gladioli
Wrapped with......

Standing awkward beneath the pines’
Shade - their pinks and purples

Tie-Dye...This dress was ripe with stains
On the verge of being lost to last year
And its ambiguous grey-green shading

I’ve sowed, and watered
Now, I wait.
The sun shall rise,
My seed shall grow.

And rain from last night, tri......

Gladioli...Breathtaking,
long tall stalks,
like a ladder,
tiny buds in thy thoughts,
array of colors,
pink through to yellow,

Word Quintet In E Minor...Word Quintet in E Minor
Too many tan hearses cruise down my street in 1963
Too many grieving souls cry shattered tears here.
Green throbbing lawns ruminate like grazing cows.
Red-bricked chimne......

Flowing right to your sacred garden,
Like a 'blue blooded' princess
Coming to your world with sincere heart,
smile and open arms;
To hold you tight, and
