dVerse Q241 — Heaven’s Rose

Posted by Lisa or Li on

Heaven’s Rose

Flowers, open, spread your joy.
Love seeds plant, germinate,
our prayer needs merged
with faith. Sprouted field
emerge neath warmth,
resilient we reach yet
soft, healing yield

blooms, be
listeners,
organic
oeuvre
music.
Sweet

melody rise as
an aerial fragrance,
perfume reaching heaven’s nose.

De, aka whimsygizmo, is today’s host for dVerse’ Quadrille Monday.  De would like us to write a 44-word poem using the word flower.

    Sublimely original — and sublime, itflows, it flows, all the more with this concept….the internal rhythm impeccable…goodness, must have taken some ‘tightening’ to get just right..,

    Okay! I love this. A quadrille, a concrete poem, and an acrostic! I’m impressed, Li. Not only a concrete poem, but one that would hold a flower! Yay!
