    The Poem 

    This is not just a song about flowers – 

    You embody royalty like a tulip
    Lavender’s perfection with a poise 
    Loyal and dependable as an iris, purple, grey and moist
    Refined and sophisticated like an orchid
    With petals fancy, wet and tepid
    You stick around and give good loving
    Take over from the red rose
    Like peonies in a jar so pretty and serving
    You can sniff the brilliant hibiscus - and 
    Applaud the fascinating yet colorful distinction
    Of the daffodil, dahlia and bright orange carnations
    Walk in strides of innocence and beauty
    Grab attention like the amaryllis or a daisy
    Reek of optimism like the chrysanthemum
    Anticipate greatness like the anemone
    Light up a place like the sunflower
    Be the hyacinth of the moment.
    Like the lilies of ages and gardenias of life’s tower
    I could liken you to a snapdragon, a patient torment
    But you are graceful like baby’s breath
    Exuding purity as the hydrangea
    This is not a song about flowers, but of strength
    Alas I cannot help but mention the Statia
    How could I forget?

    The Story 

    This poem about flowers was birthed during one of my random impulsive internet scrolling. I had discovered at that moment a new obsession (Flowers) and decided to make a poem about it. Enjoy.
