Camellia
The double flower,
Japanese Rose winter bloom
broadleaf evergreen
shrub, Camellia blush,
stately exhibits itself.
Are you seized, Camellia
Of a secret grief
To let slip, uncontrollably
A blessing too brief?
A silly thought, true; only
What for it grasssed, glows
Of father's death at the prime
Emblematic shows.
The teas that bring on sleep
Are lavender and camellia
Some people enjoy lavender
tea
It has an unique taste I tried it once
and enjoyed
I love the scent of the tea
I also like the plant that
is grown
I buy it every summer
Watering it with love
The camellia tea
Is a tea like no other
It helps to make you
sleep
It has an unique taste
I like the scent
If lavender tea is not
found
I drink camellia tea
both teas work for me
Lavender tea nw hard to
find
So i drink camellia tea
received in bouquet
as an admiration sign
the pristine flower

camellia droops
under the weight of rain
blossoms fall like tears
There once was a man from Georgia
Who bought his love a Camellia
Red blooms for Saint Valentine
This gift no adrenline
Just glad that it's not grindelia
Camellia white white
Petals have covered the ground
With the first fall snow
