‘Pleased to meet you’
Said the Jasmine to the Rose
‘My vine intertwines you, I couldn’t help but impose
Myself upon you, so our beauties could meet
With our mingled colours and scents, we’re an extra potent treat’
‘I can’t quite reach you oh beautiful Gardenia
You’re the elite of the garden, seemingly everyone’s senior
Perfect white, thickened texture, your scent an alluring adventure
Complete in your presence, your beauty needs no extra’
‘Oh yes, I do’ replied the perfect Gardenia
‘No flower is an island and I’m no flower’s senior
All of us create this garden, together as one
And, the sun beams its brilliance, favouring no one’
A beautiful Gardenia who could ask for more>
We can. And we find it in Suzie Palmer
Poet extraordinare in sights and sounds and words
And all things wondrous of this world.
