Short Arum Poems

Edible plants were hungry, most eaten raw.
My Mom's recipe abandoned, rockets salvoed.
Maiden roots are cut, water is decanted.
As many religious beliefs, in situ and ex situ versus.
So Earth's half million plants surrendered.
Forgive us, unhug you....

PRETTY AUTUMN FLOWERS

pretty fall flowers
orchids golden ray lily
transvaal red daisy

cock's comb burning head
arum-lily dahlia
pretty fall flowers

chrysanthem bloom
yarrow, yarrow white flower
pretty fall flowers

Pearl rain droplets dance			
                               with the prosody of steady blowing air			
                                  on the heart stage of arum leaves			
                                 though for few seconds they carry on			
                                   Oh! How beautiful the scene it is...

Granny had a yellow cat Matty Sand-arum
                       She was fond of Cherry Blossom and bubblegum
                                       Cherry ached in her tummy
                                          Bubble is double balmy
                   She yelled out scummy gummy and fell into the scum

I imagine you 
always, for the first time 
burgeoning like an  
arum lily 

Some exotic flower 
falling off the back-end 
of a truck, floating 
with the breeze 
into my hands 

I imagine you 
as I do, in certain dreams 
statuesque in your movements, 
so float towards me 
as a dream, 

I am a non-existent entity 
propelled by your perfume 
and midnight gardens light 

When I imagine you 
eternally, in the mirror 
of my eyes....
