Peonies
she smells of peonies, extravagant, luxurious, She smells of peonies, elegant, dangerous, She smells of peonies, elite, but soft, She smells of peonies, unapologetically;
Peonies are extravagant and soft at the same time: they don't apologize for taking up space. Neither does she. This poem is about a woman (like Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl) who is all contradiction and no compromise. The most dangerous thing about her is that she doesn't even try.
