Some are Water Lilies
Whose roots grow deep in mud
Some are Aloes blooming red
With healing in their bud
Some are Cala Lilies
With blossoms white as snow
Some are florid Orchids
Which in a hothouse grow
Some Lily of the Valley
Exquisite unadorned
Some are Cactus Roses
Be careful of the thorns!
Some are Jack in the Pulpit
A rakish sort of fella
Some are Ladies Slippers
Awaiting Cinderella!
Some are lovely Roses
Which smell so very sweet
Some are Stink Cabbage
With a smell like rotting meat!
Moonflowers and Marigolds
Irises. Magnolia!
So many I can't think of
Many I haven't told ya...
There are Venus Fly Trap
Carnivorous cutie
The Lilaç grow in bushes
known for their great beauty
Daisies are so simple
Violets in there too
Tell me true
Look at leaf and petal folks
what flower type are YOU?

I'm sorry if I haven't been following your work! I've been so busy I just don't have lots of time to read anymore. But if you send me a link for your poetry I will read it. I'm doing my best to be on the site and catching up on all the poems that I haven't read by each individual poet. I love you all and wish I could be on site all day! Take care and have a beautiful week!
