Decade of the Blooming


Attending is the decade of the blooming The lighthearted Sundew rays, of the unassuming Candy- coated nectar glistens from the Aloe plant And the stargazer now will begin his chant We are the young, the buds of the Oriental poppy Those that are lost among the cherry blossom copy Candied Violin Dahlias blush When the child Calla Lily has her first crush Bird of paradise flourishes the pavement way To keep the voodoo lily hidden they’re at bay We are a bed of Green Irish Lily We grow vibrant unless we get chilly. Enclosed in a giant world This oasis belongs to the boy and the girl.
