Florid
by Ginette T BelleVibrant sprays of colour
Frolic in lush emerald fields
Cut fresh to die gracefully
In a crystal water bowl
To adorn summer garden parties
And frosted white weddings
To idealize modern romance
And the ginger wood kitchen table
Forever an ambrosial wonder
Fallen from the heavens above

| Posted by Lori Johnson on 08/25/04 at 06:26 PM Odd, I had an image in my mind of your descriptive poem before I ever read the authors note. To me, that means you've succeeded in giving your friend what she asked for. :)
Well done. |

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 09/03/04 at 04:31 AM I like this. It seems in this piece that most of the human actions are colorless or monochromatic, while nature or when humans try to get nature, are colorful. Great read. |
