Delphiniums Poems | Examples

In Spring

In spring, when delphiniums are in bloom fair
Come to my garden where I will meet you then 
We will talk about life and love without a care
When spring comes, the earth is young again

As everything comes alive, trees begin to thrive
Come to me when the apple trees are white shining
In the spring when the young corn plants survive
But will you stay when winter's white is pining

When the white snow is on the mountain top
And those northerly breezes bitingly blow
Will you still look forward to seeing the snowdrop
When the garden is aged, wrinkled and slow

Youth has loves advantage in strength and beauty
True love through age and wisdom fulfills its duty

Crazy Tall

Hollyhocks blossom in shades white to black,
And a myriad of dramatic colors in between,
With a colossal height other beauties lack,
Long drowsy days charm all my garden green!

Cannas bloom in red, orange, yellow or pink,
And the loftiest ones can reach twelve feet,
Spreading joy for miles like sunset's blink,
Among lilies there waits a blissful retreat!

Delphiniums can grow as tall as seven feet,
So admired by flitting rose red butterflies,
Advancing skyward like cobalt blue parakeets,
When deep-colored summer is just on the rise.

Dance Party In Summer

dance party of summer

blue waves rock and roll
 seashore tides shimmy and shake ~
  sunlight tap dances

white clouds pirouette
 delphiniums deep plies ~
  ebb tides grand jettes

meadows slowly waltz
 forests polka with raindrops ~
  breezes minuet

willow trees tango
 sunflowers skip jump and jive ~
  moon does the hustle

butterflies slow dance
 ladybugs groove in two-step ~
  surfside twists and shouts

shooting stars moon walk
 tide pools salsa dancing ~
  birch trees swing and sway

dandelions stroll
 fields of daisies jitterbug ~
  long days zydeco

swift rivers rumba
 rapids mambo in quickstep ~
  starshine at the hop

The Painted Garden

Bright yellow daffodils,
    Pansies, and gladiolus,
And chrysanthemums;
    Red roses of unique hybrids; 
Orange dahlias, peach tulips, 
    Fuchsia asters, and white lilies;
Blue hyacinths and delphiniums;
    Purple anemones and begonias
Planted in various places….

	Roses have unique names, 
    	    For instance, Poinsettia rose,
	Mr. Lincoln rose, and even,
    	    Queen Elizabeth rose.

	White lilies will grow to
    	    A magnificent size and height.
                Nevertheless, 	
                    Be cautious that bunnies 
                Tend to nibble at 
                    Their succulent petals.

                Dahlias, on the other hand,
                     Vibrant colors of coral, 
                Mango, watermelon, pink, 
                     Amber, terracotta and red, 
                Develop into an incredible size 
                    That is remarkable.
    
 And also, silvery green lamb’s ears 
     Scattered along the periphery
 Of the twenty-five foot stone wall,
     Gives the ultimate impression of 
  An extravagant rainbow of flowers
     So vibrant and colorful….
  What a sight to see!

Serenity of Blue

Serenity Of Blue


As in our rivers' varied tints of blues,
   the color blends are peaceful and serene,
in ripples of reflective color hues
   that mirror mix of sky and hills of green.

Yet, 'midst the flowers in our fields that grow,
   real blue in blooms is very scarce indeed.
The few we see will thrill us with their show;
   Delphiniums or blue wildflower weeds.

And too, in foods the color blue is rare
   most fruits display a color that attracts,
like tangerine, red apple, plum, and pear;
   somehow the color blue in food detracts.

So nature gifts us blues in soft sky blue
   reflected in her rivers, lakes or seas.
Though rarest of earth colors, it is true,
   serenity of blue will always please.

If the Colors Fade

Sweet blue indigo were your eyes,
	sometimes they appeared almost black
but in their reflection, I saw clear sky blue
	with floating pastel aqua painted clouds.
In your tended garden, soft pale cyan croci rose
	followed by tall taunt blue cornflowers
that stretched between the graceful cobalt delphiniums
	that stood before summer cerulean hydrangeas.
Your laugh filled the garden with sapphire irises
	that lived for but a day or two
and in the walking tour of flowers displayed,
	each shade danced into a Persian setting sun.
Passing now those recalled memories and scents
	I smell sweet lavender fill the air
and in my loneliness without you
	the blue celeste fades to paler shades and hues.
The mix of white and gray shadow accompany me
	and the sky turns cerulean tinged gray
and I wipe away the tears from my azure faded eyes
	as blue midnights wrap around my heart.
Now, tincture steps into unblushed sky of winter
	and all the colors tend to fade and disappear
like you.

Coming Home

You’re coming home today, my heart rejoice 
To hear that baron tone and luscious voice 
You’ll coming walking through that door 
I’ll come flying, your bags drop to the floor 
You’ll wrap your arms around my waist 
Your lips will stick to mine like sticky paste 
They’ll reminisce on the times we lost 
 And repay through hours, an unlimited cost 

As I laid upon my moonlight bed 
And skimmed through books I already read
Spread my arms across the white cotton sheets 
A space as far as when the two Pacific’s meets
On the end side table, delphiniums placed in a glass 
Ready for your sunshine, an awaiting storm to pass 
Rainy clouds creeps, an unwelcome invitation 
Boy, let me into that imagination 

Barely can my lips speak your name 
And for you are the only one to blame 
When you’re gone, an everlasting dusk 
The thought of you, provides a permanent lust 
And this spell of love’s despair 
Ripped apart it would compare 
But the end is near of this tragic play
For you my love, are coming home today

Intro To Departure

I.
“A hiatus, not a parting.”
I waited until stones gathered
on the mothy carpet of the 
living room. Then I stopped,
like mothers and fathers, 
the un-watered 
Delphiniums window-side.

II.
Laid a rusted finger on
the lip, the dredged ice,
Alaskan wind, a single
prayer before expatriation and
a loaf of pennies.
You don’t know what 	
opportune means (question mark)

III.
A thousand chests,
the ribs crumbling;
it’s a melody, a syncopation, some 
Eucharist pre-hymnal tonal exercise.
We all waited for false angels,
the permanence of grief.

Strength In Storms

waves crash mist and spray
touch upon lighthouse's strong walls..
lights steadily warn

lightkeeper's sturdy
rock home filled with light warmth love..
unharmed as storm passes

delphiniums bloom
their gauze blossoms withstand storm..
strength in featherweight

April Showers

"April showers bring May flowers" just for you
On your birthday may rose blossoms linger
With scents so pleasing abundant blooms to view
May Hummingbirds your blossoms visit eager

May all your birthday candles be blown out
May this be your best birthday without a doubt
May your Delphiniums and Daffodils grow
May on you much love_kindness always bestow

Private Moorings

searching for words in continuum of
incompleteness, it was a trickle at first, then
a free fall, cerebral fury: I am becoming expansive,
so apposed to verbatim of shrieks, only

in whispers I will talk to delphiniums,
I would walk inside the time capsule, come
and sit besides me for a while, I am tired of

this ghost town, and fleeing shadows of
waning luminories on the horizon in

half-naked blooms;on different shores
U-boats are being lowered with torpedos. I am

waiting for the hurricane 


SATISH VERMA

Third One of Many

Over where the Delphiniums bloom Cornflower Blue
The Zephyr blows on quiet morns
Then the excited voices come to play
And screams resound in heat of day

Where splashes and laughter 
Are common things
Stress disappears 
Joy relaxation brings

Children smile with dimples
As water drips from hair
Drenched like salamanders
Once again where Delphiniums live

(Jotted on any available paper)
