Happy birthday, Anne Marinela, 
A flower is in white array; 
A beautiful bougainvillea 
Is arranged in brilliant bouquet.

beautiful bountiful inflorescence, bougainvillea
your Latin American hot sauce is showing
your hot spicy pinks challenging your zesty oranges
with a tinge of thorns, you are too hot to tango...

The bougainvillea
wears your fragrance
the scent a silent comfort
in my often quiet days

I enjoy our conversation
while the magenta
of its leaves
paints a beautiful picture
as if you were here...

I see the image
in a mirror on the wall  
light reflecting eyes 
gleaming a greenish yellow
from my large tortoiseshell cat.

I hear and see:
Hot pavement, 
Green house,
Boardwalk,
The sound of children's talk
The sun,
watching all the fun
Palm trees
Shifting in the breeze
Blue sky
Green leaves
Bougainvillea trees,
Red and vibrant
That's how you can tell you're on an island...

yonder is a flaming red, vintage corolla

         basking in the sun in the yard of this villa,

                            casting no shadow,

                           while by the window,

     dances a burning bush, blazing bougainvillea !...

Sunflowers are black and yellow
You’re a damn cute fellow
Our hands intertwined on the cello
With you, I want to sing the Sh-ha-shallow

Bougainvillea are purple and pink
Let me take you out for a drink
Together our glasses will clink
Oh, you make my heart sink!...

cascades of color
creates fragrance enigma
bougainvillea

purple sun pastime
and lushness now has a name
sangria dawn fame

peach noon honey glazed
lends sparkle to cherry blooms
like Mars sunset rooms

frozen beauty falls
just past the time of tulips
in gold sun closeups...

Freshly liberated from an overgrown bushy trail,
I saw myself skimming waist-deep in Lavender,
Sentries to the rear, Hollyhocks, and Foxgloves,
Bougainvillea to the left and, to the right of me,
Chose a meadow of Prairie Smoke and Daisies,
Held at a water lily pond airs Rainbow butterfly....

In the greenhouse
Listening to the rain
Among exotic plants
Thriving on pure love
And tender care

Scent of bougainvillea
Blooming out of season
Foliage of tropicals
And rare tiny orchids
Lush from Amazon jungle

All renewing my hope
Promising springtime
though winter comes

Statues orate
snow white odes
Lilies loquate
lavender soliloquies
Alyssum applauds
with purple passion
in summer's soft breeze 
Aquamarine asps
slither
on a swimming pool
beside bougainvillea
reaching
over ivory urns
to toss
fuchsia coins.

Cherry tomatoes, 
Red plums,
Delicious apples,
Purple plums, 
Red grapes, green grapes,
Oranges.
In my garden they grow!
Roses,
Bougainvillea,
Sunflowers,
Lavender,
Orange lilies,
Readily their blossom show!
Gentle faces,  
Aromatic fragrance, 
Cheerful colors, 
Elegantly Display their radiation 
In the summer sun!

I woke this morning
to the billowing curtains 
blowing in the breeze,
and the scent of the jasmine 
just outside my window.
This garden is sparse:
the unkempt grass,
the bougainvillea, and
the persimmon tree we all loathe--
an over-abundance of ripening fruit.
The early morning sun
casts a hazy pillar of light 
on my bedroom floor....

A young, enchanting Lilly stands tall and oh so very proud,
Others waiting in line to bloom, they silently vowed,
Eager roses showing off their virgin white beauty, 
Vain, trying to steal the show, maybe feeling a little guilty,
Bougainvillea, vivaciously display a color of vibrant indigo,
They lean forward as I approach whispering, watch me grow.

I woke 
to the billowing curtains 
blowing in the breeze,
and the scent of jasmine 
just outside my window.

This once perfect garden now sparse:
the unkempt grass,
the bougainvillea, and
the persimmon tree that we loathe--
an over-abundance of ripening fruit.

The early morning sun
casts a hazy pillar of light 
on my bedroom floor.

Don't wake me up....

Crepe myrtles and bougainvillea blooming in the heat.
Soaking in the rays, like a sun bronzed goddess.
Awaiting to turn a new leaf.
Waiting for the retreat of souls dancing in a spiral constellation.
A northern constellation; Canes Venatici.
A galaxy twenty million light years away.
Away from this place we call Earth, as we unearth the mysteries.
The rest is history…....

One corner house in my street,
Where grows sepal like
Lovely, light, bougainvillea
Spread like a white sheet.

Overflows upon the compound wall
Attracts each and every passersby
Densely, bounty bougainvillea
is like a creamy froth about to fall.

On this brightly white flowers
Insects creep, dew settles, twinkles flash
 Adding glow to rich bougainvillea
Like a touch of sea breeze on cold hours....
