within the perfumes of rare orchids and lilaceous lillies...I am a star gazer into the bearded Iris of You...


Poem Artwork

 Iridaceous Nectar

 

We are ascendant pollinators

Burrowing ourself deep inside

Perfuming sepals and petals

Attracted to the showy flower

 

Dance for me with the moon shadows

 

A parallel venation

Our ovaries mature

Pollen receptive, we are

Revealing our hidden secrets

From the pine sky and imbricate cone buds

 

While the Sphinx moth hovers

In delight to the sticky pollen

The pollen powder is carried away

as the black hummingbird arrives

Sampling sweet Iridaceous nectar

 

Bulbous reactions arise

Splitting the fruit open further

Revealing the beautiful pistil

This perianth of new discovery

The corolla of velvety visions

Collecting perfuming bouquets of you

 

See my anther expose upon your succulent midnight wind…

I'm not a woman, but I'll swear that I almost swooned from this sweet thing. I'd bet my pistol on it, and dip into some of that Iridaceous nectar if I had half a chance.

Effective cross pollination in every sense of the word. Hooded by petaloid assumption of edible pollens this well-written poetry is extremely provocative essay coming from deep in the nectary glands with all respect to anthers and stigma...brought on by external [agents], wind and water. Should one might think your alliances secrete nectar as you poeticize the transference of group pollen?

Yours xoxo

Vickie! It just doesn't get any better than this. I know that is said often, but I don't say it often, this poem deserves those words of praise.
