LARKSPUR


POEM TITLE: LARKSPUR VERSE 1 Oh, how I admire the flower larkspur Anytime I sit on the greeny meadows in despair ! Larkspur, a beautiful, lovely fragrant flower thou art with other flowers I compare. Moments unforgettable in bloomsberry ,larkspur! VERSE 2 Jasmine, daisy and lily of the valley , the flowers that care Larkspur, a flower so dear and rare Admired at the sight of bloom, but forgotten soon at noon, blur Oh, how I long to smell the sweet fragrance of larkspur in the time I spare VERSE 3 Of all natures beautiful flowers is larkspur The symbol of love, binding couples so dear The uniqueness of larkspur I cannot compare So clearly depicting the true nature of love I declare , sincere VERSE 4 The bride’s bouquet hailed kissed and preferred but at noon , marred Symbolizing the truth of love, I pondered, larkspur Love, so adulterated and err Fleeting love, takes wings, stirred, like a butterfly on larkspur VERSE 5 Gear towards love hidden truth , clear Everything in larkspur has a lesson to spare , stare! Attractive, adorable, wonderful, sweet scented flower ,larkspur Gorgeously adorned on the bride’s hair; in fair to glare VERSE 6 Rose flower and larkspur , a perfect pair! Unrequitted love, so impaired and blur Stained by man’s feeble love affair, bizarre. Larkspur, not a flower mere ; to the brokenhearted ,repair! VERSE 7 The brokenhearted nightmare , larkspur! Flaring mixed moments of happiness of the lover’s vows , glare Drawing sad tears to the eyes ,where vows are broken, there! Stare at the wedding pictures in eyes blur , here… VERSE 8 The shining diamond ring and the beautiful bridal bouquet ; larkspur ,tears incur Now, fleeting love mystery and vanity bare True perfect love non - existent ; rare , but where ? Sphere of adulterated love revolves around me, as I stare at this larkspur, now aware! Quaicoe Augustus Bsc. Marine engineering , knust Ghana

Augustus Quaicoe
This poem is about unrequited love Imagining smelling the fragrance of a beautiful pleasant looking flower, You enjoy the moment with it for some time. Soon afterwards, when you stroll along the path... . You forget the awesome moment you have with it moments ago, and drop it in the trash can The poem illustrates man's feeble love which seems pleasant, enticing, and caring but soon ends in betrayal, heart break, infedility, abandonment, separation and hatred. The poem uses the lesson of the flower larkspur and nature to lament and explain unrequited love
