Plumeria Blossom Poem by Juan Olivarez

Sweet smell floating on the evening breeze,
Delightful, delicate, and made to please.

Beauty of yonder flowering trees,
Heavenly colors give my heart ease.

Plumeria blossoms pink, yellow and red,
I'll pick them to have by the side of my bed.

No rose in the world could ever compare,
To a Plumeria's scent, so heavenly fair.

A beautiful woman with a flower in her hair,
The Plumeria's blossom is the one that is there.

A tropical treasure, not widely known,
That you need to posess for your very own.

Don't take my word for it, sniff for yourself,
The Plumeria's scent, conquers anything else.
