Star Shaped Poems | Examples

I Love You

I bought you star shaped lillies of blue,
just to tell you that I love you.

Daisy, daisy, daisy

Abundance of daisies,
Delicate white petals, 
Leaves of green, 
A meadow, so beautiful, 
A joy to be seen. 

Star shaped white faces, 
Gently swaying in the breeze, 
They appear everywhere, 
In fields and amongst trees. 

The joy of nature.
Wild and wonderful, 
So graceful and silent,
Daisies so delicate and small, 

A field full of daisies,
Such a lovely view, 
I made a little daisy chain, 
Especially for you!!

snowflake shapes

Star shaped, seriously sassy
Nodding needle-nosed, light chassis
Capped column, looking conniving
Irregular yet interesting without striving
Decidedly diabolically dendrite-dated
Practically perfect, placidly plated
Snowflakes have six points or six sides
Depending on moisture in clouds and temp outside

Flower of Christmas

mint green Christmas and
star shaped poinsettias point
at the golden hour

red plant revelry
and hoot owl's quiet in snow
mauve sun is setting

pretty centerpiece
where loved ones gather laughing
joy of the season

the scarecrow leaning
calls to mind the songbird days
in burgundy hat

celebrating Him
and jack frost is at the door
flower of christmas

Jasmine

Sweet scented, star shaped, 

Summer sedative, silky spike 

Shines with its short stature  

Sign of sensuality and suppleness 

Supports spirits, slashes stress

Scents and colognes made from it

Small, lovely, luminous jasmine, the

Special choice of beloved-hearts

You’re a Flower in My Garden 3-5-24  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daphne

Your winter child, with beguiling scent perfumes snow and rain,
I smile in January’s barrenness to herald crocus, wrens and snowdrops.

Sometimes a temperamental garden tot, don’t like wet feet,
Evergreen harbinger of bees and ladybugs and butterflies
Whispering of vernal winds in their hibernating renewal.

I watch the furry maniacs retrieve a cache of summer pine nuts 
From beneath the cloak of my protection –
Spear leaves edged in yellow like wispy winter sunshine -–
Giving back a fountain of fragrance splashing from star shaped blooms.

Robed in purple royalty, decorating winter’s threadbare garden gown,
My blossoms glow through your garden’s gloom,
A jubilee of sweet incense, heaven’s winter grace, lovingly shared.

Late Winter to Early Spring

A

Crow cawed

Then a dove

Cooed early while

Still dark from cloudy

Skies on this late winter's

Morn, the only gold was the 

Daffodils' blossoms flashing smiles

To   the   star   magnolia's   delicate

Star shaped blooms seeking a friend before spring

A Stroll through the Garden

I stroll through the garden of delight,
Where fragrant flowers scent the air.
Each one a different hue and sight,
Each one a gift of nature's care.

I breathe in the sweet scent of gardenia,
A melody of citrus-floral blend.
It soothes my soul like a symphonia,
A white blossom, a harmonious friend.

I marvel at the lily of the valley,
A bell-shaped beauty, a graceful sight.
It fills my heart with joy and glee,
A fresh embrace, pure and light.

I inhale the rich scent of jasmine,
An exotic spice, sensual and bold.
It stirs my senses with passion,
A star-shaped flower, a story untold.

I unwind with the soothing scent of lavender,
A herbal balm, calming and mild.
It eases my mind with wonder,
A purple charm, nature's child.

I smile at the romantic scent of rose,
A classic love, floral and bright.
It warms my spirit with its pose,
A red symbol of the dove's flight.

I stroll through the garden of delight,
Where fragrant flowers scent the air.
Each one a different hue and sight,
Each one a gift of nature's care.

The Photograph

There you are-
A favored photograph
Framed upon the smooth, bisque-colored door
Of our Kenmore refrigerator
Centered-
Fastened in prominence by
Blue and yellow star-shaped magnets with
"Importance" inscribed upon each corner.
You-
A glossy-coated, eight and one-half inch
By ten and one-half inch
Image,
Created by thousands of colored
Pin-point dots:
Red, blue, white, black, and green-
A brilliant projection of
Loyalty and trust,
Longing and security,
Love and faithfulness.
There you are-
a single moment in the life of a 
Small, sad, sleeping boy laying on his dog.
A captured glimpse of true love.

Greenery

after the rain, wildflowers bend like
                         wilted men wrapped in age and bliss
fragments of longing and belonging
in wet that sustains a warming world 
                                     to bring elation with green fields
                                     in a mission of beauty

daisies poke through tall grasses
              picketing the field with star shaped heads
              and yellow centre discs
              that make the world manageable to hold
              gadflies of growth
              with white petals plucked by
                                 wooing hands to know
                                 the alignment of love
                         
greenery with life within
overstuffed
drenched hazy
a tangle of vegetation 
all of it deflecting woe like voices in a chorus
finding one's self in the mix

The Hummingbird Trumpet

Also named the hummingbird vine
the hummingbirds adore this bud
it is a perennial beauty 

a star shaped flower so divine; 
with varied shades it loves to flood
the garden, she is so lovely 

that the bearded thornbills pine 
for her sweet nectar summer sud 
and love, she is a sight to see  

This flower blossoms with ol' shine 
inviting him for gentle scud 
across the gentle folds with glee; 

She consigns her candied nectar,  
to a hummingbird injector.

Edelweiss

Exquisite, Alpine daisy-like flowers
Desired for my concrete, city garden.
Emblem of pure love and deep devotion 
Labeled as "noble white" by old Germans.
When my star-shaped petals began to droop,
Environmental pollution at fault;
I was told they are hardy, however
Success would be greater if I moved to
Switzerland - and a garden in the Alps.

Christmas Eve

Soft swirling snow is dancing down, 
The earth wears a white lacy gown, 
Carols spread cheer in our hometown, 
In magic melodies we drown, 

Trinkets and baubles decorate
Christmas trees extremely ornate, 
A white star shines as I narrate
the story of Christ's birth and fate, 

Children listen all enraptured, 
Loving memories encaptured, 
Around the fireplace, we're pictured, 
Making gingerbread house structured, 

Next comes stringing bright Christmas lights, 
Red and green, they twinkle at nights, 
All streets are lit, my heart delights;
We share tree-star-shaped cookie bites,

Then we get together to bake, 
What fun we have! What joy to make
a rich and lovely Christmas cake! 
Wrapping presents, we stay awake, 

Worn out, we all then go to sleep, 
Drifting off to dreamy land deep;
When morning sun slowly does creep, 
To celebrate Christmas, we leap.

Your News In Print

This just in,
earth is careening toward an asterisk,
speeding toward a footnote,
alien podiatrists are monitoring.
Elephants have moved in-land
refusing interviews to the press.

In other news,
sinkholes have been rescued
from children’s ears.
Cyclonic swirls of pelicans
have created a weather front
scientists are stumped.
Excuses from discredited experts
have been spotted
escaping back to Beijing.

Nothing may actually be true
except for the asterisks,
these random star-shaped symbols
are always a tease, a risk,
Someone might misinterpret them,
call them misinformation.

A captured glimpse of contentment.

There you are-
A single moment in the life of a 
Small boy and his dog.
