Red Rhododendron
The rhododendron
Wearing its red blossoms
Like a Met Gala gown.

Rhododendron
A peerless beauty from a distant land,
now loved in rainbow colours round the globe,
her tresses, curls and sumptuous curves delight,
she’s surely clad in Nature’s finest robe.

Rhododendron
Oh! floriferous, bold, roseate ebullience of May,
Alluring doting sights welcome-vibes you convey
Gracing edges, where the roses and azaleas sway
Forming resplendent ballet of multicolored array;
O rhododendron, flamboyant in euphoric morn,
Flaunting flaming-purple how gardens you adorn
Where hummingbirds frolic and butterflies play
And bell-shaped showy blossoms greet sunny day
As jubilation of spring, breezing your realm serene,
Revels in whorls of

Rhododendron
The burst of fuchsia colored flowers, brightens the yard
Having grown over the years, it spreads further now
Big blooms that attract the Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly
They stand out like fireworks on a dark, cloudy day
Stop, look, see them while they last...
It's a show to enlighten even the darkest of days
Then stunning with shine, when the sunlight returns

Rhododendron
I rise
Out of my small hard bed
Of childhood dreams
Just to see the
Rhododendron bloom
Once more
Like a pink sunrise
While my grandmothers ghost
Follows me
Around the old house
As I walk
Through each empty room
And the memories
Appear out of the
Restless space
One by one
Guarded by the
Strict division

The Pepperman and the Rhododendron Honey Quandry
I OPENED A DOOR AND FOUND MYSELF
SITTING IN THE MIDST OF CLOUDS.
THE ATMOSPHERE WAS QUITE CHILLY.
AND THE OXYGEN LEVEL EXTREMELY LOW.
HEAVENLY IN A WAY.
I WASN'T SURE OF MY DIRECTION.
WAS I ASCENDING OR WERE THE CLOUDS
DESCENDING?
I REMAINED SEATED AND OBSERVED
THE SENSATION
OF THE PEACEFUL SURROUNDINGS.
AS THE CLOUDS MOVED PAST SWIFTLY
THE FAINT AMBROSIAL

My Rhododendron of Loneliness
The arcs of how you work
On the PC before the desk
Chords of the circles
You paint while you talk
Hilly sentences of poems
The tales of the muscles
Swing in crimson sunshine
The machine you handle
While the steel melts
They are your boyfriends
They flirt overtly
Baskets of flowers, laugh
Sun sits on marigolds
I see you walking
Doing your hair
Talking to the unruly breeze
Holding you
