Delicate principle of elegant design.
Nature’s scented cynosure.
As watery waves crest and rise
from a luminous lure,
so flowers emerge
and betray their beauty
to the beckoning
of the morning star.
Comely cell
in the cradle corpus
of the silken field;
a pixel-point of paradise,
a peeking prize of life --
a sprout from the marriage
of sun and soil.
She is the perfumed plateau
that provides gifts
of pollen and nectar
to her bee and
butterfly lovers.
Floral seductress,
petaled princess,
Oh, fragrant expression
of summer's incense!
