Long Gladiolus Poems

( Song of Solomon 4: 16 )



We Walked In The Garden At Midnight
We Walked Thru The Garden In Moonlight

Among Azealeas & Verbenas & Blue Jonquils
Sweet Honeysuckle, Yellow Primroses & Daffodils
Among White Phlox & Orchids &...

P e a c e is a language
spoken between
healing bougainvilleas 
and bleeding begonias,
dripping dews of hope
through simple gestures~
like specks of sapphire dust
from stars sparkling
amidst bed-shaped clouds,
crawling through the horizon
many miles away,
stretching
beyond
the fogginess
that veils clarity,
stirring the

None knows what signaled him 
Deep down the rim
To get down from the train
As if gone insane 
All on a sudden
Much before the destination
Amidst thunderstorm and torrential rain
Ripping off the existence

Trifling with fear, sadness, guilt
Ignoring...

I’ve labored,
I’ve sowed, and watered
Now, I wait.

The sun shall rise,
My seed shall grow.
And the heavens shall open up,
To weep.

Bathing in the sun’s rays,
And rain from last night, trickling down the foliage,
That one drop hits the...

The Balmy Month of August

During those dog days of summer’s dream-rest,
When crops robust in days, that are hottest.
I sought to find my love peacefully asleep,
Under the shady oak tree canopy.

Luscious gladiolus witnessed my jest,
When I...

Is it autumn, when silence has come to a lonely lakeshore?
Throngs of reveling summer tourists are flocking here no more.

Is it autumn, the water's sitting still in the swimming pool?
The rowdy children have gone, unhappily,...

Gold or gladiolus or golden sapphire fine;
Delighted, even if I divine light define;
If, like an orange, the details I do not peel,
Will my rhyme-lyric like an angelus-bell, peal?

Like a disciplined mother rearing her infant,
Timely sleeping,...

I am a tiny winged buzzing insect
A friend to folks and flowers alike
Another name for hard work
Toiling untiring from dawn to dusk

I set out merry, humming a tune, 
On my professed mission of gathering honey

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;

Filled with Jesus-fascination
Pure poinsettia Plantation 
Red, pink, white, salmon and yellow
Cover the fields like a rainbow...! 

Sweet-peas like little butterflies,
Cute cosmic angels in disguise;
Perform ballet dance in cool breeze,
Make baby Jesus feel at ease...!

A friend once told me flowers are the smiles from God above.
Put together with the sweetest parts of all his love.
She said he made each different as we would like that best.
And then he added...

Here in this garden of nocturnal delight
lunar shadows dance on dew covered grass
while mystical creatures hop between the

Wrapped only in silver rays of the moon

He came to me and gently brought,
the fairest flowers of His thought.

Joy arrived with euphoric mums,
softly as the hummingbird hums.

Purity blown from baby’s breath,
ever innocent until death.

Peace pervaded purest poppy,
tranquil bliss nothing can copy.

Happiness borne...

Dress De Flor
 
Red Gladiolus
is the flower of August,
fashion fabulous.
A dressmakers dream?
Spaghetti stringed halter top,
and blouson waistline
Made of real flowers?
Fabrics wired to flare-up,
then crimped and dyed red.
The store owner's son
placed an order for a gown.

Land of Summertime

Maroon Mums lay among white vast cushions.
So proud are Heathers far above Queen Buttons.
See hazy Coxcombs brush the Willy Willows while
Dandelions are resting upon white Angel Pillows.

Carmine Kangaroom paws hop, hop, and hop.

I know I am her favorite flower;
I shoot up in a spike of yellow bloom
to snatch her attention away
from all other flowers 
at home in this small garden patch.

Amidst speaking and listening
Blue shirts fly in cool breeze
Calling the pleasure pulsating
Dollops of cream from fridge

Eavesdrops curious time
Finding some dancing lakes
Grey surrounding mankind
Hands sharing pink shakes

Indulgent minds unconscious
Jasmine-rain steps in
King-size gladiolus
Loves lyrical whispering

Moments of life...

Midnight Moon

You are the acquiescent angel of my humble heart
A megalithic mosaic gladiolus garden of amalgamate art
Oh midnight moon you illuminate my glittering gaze
Thru clustered clouds and within the Minotaur maze
My gregarious guardian of heaven,...
