Far away in ancient Jerusalem
Stood a garden, long, long ago
Home to giant oaks and figs
And plants and shrubs of every kind.

Then onwards, without fail April sees the grandeur and grace, Of snowy lilies - those delicate blooms Sprouting suddenly from the crust of the Earth Joggling their heads in whiffing breeze, And giving delight to all who behold. Valsa's amazing art of description can make her readers enchanted with wonderful lines.
favorite lines so far: Those, brilliant in shade and shape With contempt openly quipped I especially liked: “Rang aloud their haughty comments Rashly blurted out and blunt” ……………… for the R/R and the b/b do embalmed bodies ooze blood? really; is it possible? any undertakers in the PH fold? I hope I’m not being too picky [of course ‘WE” do get poetic license]. And the oozing blood does add more drama, and adds to the impact of this finely-told story. ‘flowers blinking their eyes1 I ‘love’ it! ! ! black-eyed-susans? “In awful amazement, they did see A host of Lilies, white as snow Far more beautiful than any of them Bowing their heads in reverential glee “ ………. finally a rhyme; a very nice one. but, even without rhymes, I’ll “have to” send this to MyPoemList. I’ve heard “boggle” and “jiggle”, but I don’t recall hearing “joggle” before today. ANOTHER ‘new’ word for bri? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - jog•gle1 ˈjäɡəl/ verb verb: joggle; 3rd person present: joggles; past tense: joggled; past participle: joggled; gerund or present participle: joggling 1. 1. move or cause to move with repeated small bobs or jerks. the car bounced and joggled on the rough road noun noun: joggle; plural noun: joggles 1. 1. a bobbing or jerking movement. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PH lists the “topic” as “flowers”. well, yes it is, but far more, as we have seen. We have calla lilies around here, but I prefer the pink “naked-ladies”**** on our property! ============================================================== **** YA KNOW, I HONESTY WAS LOOKING FOR PHOTOS OF “Belladonna Lily or Naked Ladies”, but when I googled “naked ladies photos”, guess what appeared! poor old me had to endure until I figured out I had to put “flower” into the Google search box! ! ===================================================================== NICE ONE (again) , Valsa. bri :)
Such a beautiful poem crafted so nicely and delicately......Valsa......I am speechless.......beauty merged with eternity..a masterpiece indeed......10/10
A lovely write, very inspired and a joy to read. I love Lillie's, they are beautiful flowers.
The meek shall inherit the earth, great poem, very visual, with many shades of meaning.
‘Lilies are such lazy lot Giving only seasonal blooms'/////// Well-written poem! ! ! ! !
All the flora in silent shock Sighted from whence the Lilies came They sprang unforeseen in those spots Where drops of blood from his body fell........touching and haunting expression. A beautiful poem with amazing inscription has been astutely presented.10
