You stand out in a crowd.
like the first crocus Sprout.
In the middle of the yard.
an iris in the desert. is easily found.
you can't hide.
your morning glory from me.
It isn't hard.
To pinpoint your beauty in a lineup.
its unmistakably loud.
You might as well be wearing
Neon flourescent makeup!
You're the talk of this podunk town.
old ladies sharing coffee.
Over at Dunkin Donuts.
Discussing the latest sightings.
Of your gracefulness proud.
You're the Source of Jealousy.
among youngsters and grownups alike.
But dont let their hatred get you down.
they only covet what they can't be.
human nature is as unnatural as it gets-
makes me wonder if we came out of a factory.
Are we an invasive virus
From an alien planet?
But anyway.
Enough about them.
You're more closely related
To lavender or verbena.
or the vigorous wisteria vine.
a versatile perennial.
as the glorious clematis.
walking around here.
like a boombox bouncing.
critics of your blooming blossom.
Are only batting a thousand .
You're basking on a blanket of blue phlox.
I'm overtaken by arousal.
Garnished with a garland.
of golden rod and clover .
Armbands woven.
With dandylion, and Yarrow.
hickory trees & chickory leaves.
Seperate the burdock root-
brewing a magnificent tea.
with willow bark to soothe a tooth.
white birch chaga.
And Sasperilla for flavor.
the unopened buds of Mallow.
with coiled baby ferns,
boiling condensation.
Bottled lilac jelly.
a Salad of young Trillium greens-
blood root tattooed by indian paintbrush
Red Habiscus and Amaranth Seeds.
blue jay feathers and turquoise beads.
a black eyed susan behind her ear-
butterflies and honeybees.
glitter after for the privilege.
of the view from the rear.
by Sight and scent.
She's a garden in demand for pollination-
shined with sweat .
Golden blonde Amber haired maiden.
