Updated on April 9, 2012

When words and dreams collide, poetry results. These poetry hubs reflect my life, my interests and all the things that move me.

Each flower is a soul oopening out to nature ~ Gerard De Nerval

I have to agree with Emma Goldman when she says, “I’d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck…” Really? Really! I think Movie Master would agree with me on that. After all, flowers have some serious kick-ass powers—a quality that is not immediately definable yet so evident, it’s hard to disapprove. Flowers are required attendees at auspicious occasions—wedding, prom, birthday, anniversary or any number of celebrations. If you’re a man (and I hope you’re reading this), you can score big when you tote some lovely flowers to your wife or girlfriend/or a girl you fancy. Your faults will pale in the light of flower power and you may have increased your appeal by notches. Trust me on that one. Need a prom date?—your prospect will be brighter if you bring some flowers. Need to cheer up someone?—flowers will do the job singlehandedly—no words required. Expecting guests and need to dress up your house? --flowers will do nicely and they don’t need much fussing over. Flowers are God’s way of making sure there’s something to be happy about—no matter what.

This hub, therefore, is all about flowers. I’ll be gushing over them and I may sound a little sappy. Indulge me a little and allow me to tout the power of flowers.

Flowers, Inspired

You spread a smile on my face

Put a shine in my eyes

Add a lithe to my walk

Light a joy in my heart

Change the course of my mood

Glaze a glow on my whole outlook.


You strap wings on my dreams

And catapult it to the highest beam.


You, the grace of creation

Transcient beauty, ethereally eternal,

Inspiration magnified

A simple flower bobbing in the wind..

Just a wide-eyed flower,

But what flower power.

A Single Rose


A little rose bud



on a slender stalk of thorns



spikes and beauty meet.

Star-struck


Fuzzy little stars


Nestled against mottled pink


No fault, just beauty

Source

Cheer


Bold orange blush unfolds


Autumn shades and summer joys


Cheer on dreary days.

Source

Glow


Drenched in yellow


Petals soft with heaven’s glow


Unbridled joy flow.

Source

Chiffon


The fire within


The torch of amber showers


Shades of gold at play.

Purple Blush


Petals open and fresh


Open to dew and soft rain


Wash away life's pain.

Little Dainties


White pinwheels on fence


Twirling in the summer breeze


Defying toasty heat.

As noted, fllowers are quite indispensible for any celebratory occasion. You will never find a bride walking down the aisle without a bouquet of flowers (unless she's a runaway bride...even then, some flowers may make it official). Even wedding parlors in Las Vegas offer artificial flowers. Here is a silly poem about a guy, a ring, some nervous nerves and maybe...some flowers?

With these flowers I do thee wed.

I made this wedding bouquet for a friend.
I made this wedding bouquet for a friend.

Will You Marry Me?


I may not have the looks of Brad Pitt

the swagger of Mick Jagger

the smart of Steve Jobs

the brilliance of Terrence Tao (IQ of 230)

the internet savvy of Mark Zuckerberg

the wealth of Warren Buffet

the coolness of Shaun White

or the syrupy sweetness of Justin Bieber


On the contrary…


I’ve become quite the fool,

Putting you on the pedestal stool.

In your presence, I tend to stutter

My heart starts to flutter

I’m an emotional mess,

I’ve to confess.

I’ve lost all reasoning,

Floating...

On love’s cloud

Woozy with feverish bouts.

If you think I’m crazy,

Cheesy…

I’ve to admit it’s true

Wrap in love’s blues.

So…

Even though I don’t have the right combination

The ideal of perfection.


I’m falling madly for you

Can’t you see?

Now, will you marry me?


P.S. I love you so fine, I even make this poem rhyme.
