Short Sepals Poems

Birds revel on shimmy petals
Fervid wings stretching over sepals
Thistles on the other side, live in deep purples
Whistles of portals imbued by warbles...

Nature stores first
                                       Mother breast feeds her infants
                                                Sepals save flowers...

I spy a rose I suppose 
Just a little new born tender 
Bud of a rose of a rose of a rose 
Bud I  I  I  I  myself spy a rose  
I touched
Its sepals and its Petals so soft and alive
Delicate, a rose 
Its stem and its thorns
I  I  I  I  am privileged 
I touched a rose...

soft slim serene shafts 
snow white petals and sepals ---
curved curled and clustered

symbol of the spring 
purity pace par perfect ---
snowflakes of woodlands

That child,
looking like flowered rose,
had a rose in hand,
he smirked,
he smelled,
he shook,
and the crook,
finally wrung,
it all,
to smithreens,
with petals,
and sepals,
all strewn,
and flowery powder,
all smeared,
in his gory hands,
did he like the flower,
or the destruction more,
his story narrated all,
in the flowery gore....

rainbow of flowers
multitude of flags flutter
the sepals-accept

v-formation geese
the royal air force power
crown jewels fly high

crows in ebony
great britain’s bobbies whistle
corralling the crowds

reign of umbrellas
tutelary governing
until kingdom come

inherited solemn pledge
the sovereign’s soul on the ledge...

Your hair trembles, so do my heart,your hair like the wheat farms in the april wind my heart like leaves in autumn.
 Your lips are burning, so do my heart, your lips like the sun, red with emotion, mine like a corpse,awaiting for the ocean to hug.
 Your hair is yellow, so do my heart, your hair like sun flower sepals my heart like the face of an ill....

I am a seed which
From you germinated
And you a place
Where I was sown
Grew and firmly rooted

I am a flower which 
From you sprouted
Grew well in the comfort
Of your cosy arms
Which like sepals
to petals 
In a flower wrapped
Me with tenderness

Your love was
A fertilizer for my growth
Food for my hunger
My warmth in coldness
It was Like water,
Air and sunlight
To a germinating seed...

Bouquet of Flowers

Lilies tall
Virgin white,
Fill the vase beneath the light
On polished table standing bright,
Petals firm
Stalk upright
Beauty absolute.

Yellow sepals
Spread wide,
Within each throat they dare to hide
Finger bright rich yellow dyed,
Waving strong
Standing tall
Beauty absolute.

Tender green
Within glass,
Drink deep, stand tall to last,
One more day, before they pass,
Droop low
Bend deep
Beauty in retreat....

She traces line from terra-forma
receptacle arises 
from stalk;
winding flow,
imagery appears as
sepals blanket bud.
Ovule gives way to fruit,
an arising style
with stigma flares pollination;
marriage of pistil and stamen
and a new life is revealed;
a celebratory blush and 
petals shield gentility of bud;
light waves meld with pigment,
a thirsty flower births,
sips mother’s milk as
Gaia sculpts her 3D garden.

The colors of the flowers are vibrantly swaying
The wind caresses them it seems with kisses, 
whispering sweet nothings inside cheery cores
Daisy’s white pearly petals are speaking
Yellow sepals smiling, too yellow! Spiky discs 
spinning peeking at me as I subtly study them
Dance little flower dance so alive, 
I just want to hug and squeeze you
until you feel all this love as well

colors so vibrant
 turned on, tuned in, so alive ~
 I feel so much love
