Hyacinths
Violet softness makes my mouth water.
purple velvet fills the whole downstairs with scent.
the hyacinths glow in the light cast from the overhead lamp.
more tiny petals have unfurled since last night.
two of the clusters bend over sideways from the weight they bear.
I run for my sketchbook
lest the scene change further
before I have time to record
the precursor of spring
in purple velvet.

WHEN ONE SYNCHRONIZES WONDERS ONE FINDS THE TOOLS TO COMPLETE THE TASKS OF LIFE AND DRINK THE NECTAR OF BLISS.
The fauna and the flora are treasures of the Mother Poet. To poetize the beauty and the life of a flower is always a praise to The Mother Poet.
The subject to be dealt in a poem, depends on the reaction of the Poet’s heart... On words of Master ABERJHANI:
... EVERY POET IS RIGHTFULLY ENTITLED TO HIS OR HER INDIVIDUAL PERSPECTIVE AND METHODOLOGY, EVERY POET’S VOICE IS A VALID AND VALUED ONE. http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=20352
I enjoyed the reading of "Hyacinths".
Keep posting, Poet!
