Fred entered his shrubbery
in a horticultural society gardening contest
and wising to wager on the outcome
as to which bush was the best

Below the stars and silver moon,
Abounds the coruscation of silhouetted curves.
Sinusoidal and voluptuous,
Seismic undulating and venereal.

A torrent tsunami of desire thrusts my body.
Leaves me wanting to make love to you:

Make love to your body,
Make love to your heart,

Beautiful blue buddleia
brimming with bejeweled butterflies
which flutter frequently from branch to branch

Fabulous freesias
sensationally scented
perfumed perfection

Ruby red rambling roses
dainty daffodils and jaunty jonquils
colourful crocus and charming celandines
blooms bring breathtaking beauty
glorifying Gertrude’s garden
horticultural heaven!
