common ruellia
fall bloomer deep green foliage...
blue coated yellow...  

A plant called Mexican Petunia
invasive but beautiful cornflower
blue trumpet shape blooms covered with 
yellow butterflies.....

Paula’s partying parrot paraded pridefully past Pete
Particularly poised Petunia pranced persimmon sweet.
Pete preferred Paul’s personality, plowing past Petunia’s pail.
Quizzable questionable quandary quickly confusing quibbling quail....

Peculiar Petunia was very strange indeed,
I mean how many six-year-olds would choose to wear tweed?
On the first day of school, in an effort to impress,
Petunia chose a hand-woven olive green dress,
The other little girls wore lace in pink and red,
But Petunia knew the value of a harder-wearing thread...

flower
pretty, elegant
blooming, climbing, growing
petunia, daisy, dandelion, thistle
spreading, clinging, suffocating
stubborn, unwanted
weed

Morning tumbles into my arms,
I give a gentle hug,
Smooth down 
Her long gauzy dress,
Run my fingers through her rays
And braid sweet pea tendrils in blond pigtails.

Lifting up her quivering chin
I gaze into sapphire eyes,
Drawl encouraging morning words:
“Good” and “glory”,
“Dove”,
And she embraces the petunia day....

My eye is quickly seized by a gorgeous glimmer of purple; I walk over to take a better look. The renegade petunias have arrived to announce the imminent arrival of summer.  They are supposed to be annuals, but no one has told them, so here they are, magically showing summer the way. 


purple petunia
vibrant and beautiful
spring into summer...

I've got a pet Petunia
You know what I mean

When I'm chill I pet my pet Petunia
And it gives me a roar

It's been appreciated from time to time from others
Pretty likeable to me

As it gets wet and juicy
It likes hearing wet and juicy gossip

It may have cobwebs growing cross ways
But someone will come along and give it a good sweep

Lol...

struggle
and breath
talk
exhale
and walk

and I look upon the light that surrounds me
I remember a different time in blue

The leaves are falling
I couldn't bear to take the dead petunia plant

warm one day
cold the next
call for rain
some times 

Some day we will know why the sky is blue
I was meant for you

two yellow petunias
for winter time...

With no one hereabout
As above streetlight shone
“Hello beautiful”
Endurance rules you flout
Daintily peeping out
Flourishing with aplomb

By each gainful degree
Amid detritus flows
Purple petunia grows
If only all could see 
Limpet tenacity
Hidden in the shadows

Survival rates are slim
In mind you never dim

Though you are but a stranger to me, I offer you a kiss.
And though I’ve never met you, I know you and what you’re searching.
Look tenderly at me, and you will find it.
It is in me what you, stranger, yearn for most.
I’ll quench your thirst, I’ll satisfy your craving.
For in that great smelter that forged your feet and eyes, was forged the small seed that gave me life.
We’re brethren, stranger. I am you....

radiant spectrum
what is this flying wonder
attention captured
a chrysalis yesterday
now winged creature emerges

“my pollen’s sweetest,”
petunia attempts to lure
throughout the garden
blossoms seek her brief visits
the butterfly flutters by

to her fans, she bows
bestows butterfly kisses
captivating all
beauty flies, accepts applause
enjoying admiration

Horrible Hattie had seen her own ghost
While chomping away at Porky Pig's Roast --
   She turned wan and pale
   Downed a mug of ale --
Her translucence scared Petunia the most

Hattie staggered to her feet, looked around
The room was whirling, at times upside down --
   As she started to speak
   Her teeth rattled, 'Eek 'Eek' --
Porky's wife shrieked and ran straight out of town




Note: Petunia Pig is Porky's wife. lol....

The prettiest petunia
I'll ever get to see 
A bright and lively flower
Is what you are to me

Come grow inside my garden
I'll tend you day and night
And stroke and kiss your petals
My love's like candlelight

A flicker small, yet steady
It only takes one match
To light the wick, I'm ready
To capture and to catch 

Your profile in the mirror
My flame will dance around
To highlight all your beauty 
In you I've beauty found...

Living Large Behind Petunia

Elephants walk around on clouds
Light footed in humble stature
Like dolphins strong in mind
They know their station
Commanding winds of change
Remain complacent to a fault 
Smiling at the fruits of sun and food
Never take life too seriously
Being elephant is a weighty matter
Taking one large step at a time
Tiny eyes see all, large and small 
Hiding behind a petunia is challenging
Still they rise to the occasion
To please one and all...

        or perhaps

a prosaic prothalamion
with a epithalamium
sung to greet their wedding day
in rhyming roundelay-
verse and versicle
doxology
antiphon-

In the beginning,
the wood floor’s purpose
granted ease of care.

Grandchildren, however,
took two running steps
in sock feet, and slid
all the way down the hall.

Sweet William and Petunia,
sent feline fur floating
through breathing space
as they chased one another
and batted toy mice
across the shiny planks.

The warm, wooden hue
furnished a fitting tableau
with the furniture
of our casual lifestyle.

Peace and contentment,
settled by design
on multi-purpose surface....
