Queen of the Night
~*~

Pale, fragile flowers, doomed to bloom
In shadowed hours, your perfume,
Adorns the night, but few can see
Your white and perfect symmetry

And do the stars lean close to spy
Upon the washes where you lie?
Does the moon rise early too,
So she can spend more time with you?

Then as she lights your glowing face,
Does she desire to take your place?
You are too tender for the sun,
So with each night of glory done,
You slowly fold your petals so
Your fragrant loveliness won't show.

Until night's mantle starts to creep
Across the sands, you stand asleep!

~A marriage of Betty Lou's poetry and Marge's photography~
*The Queen of the Night is a night-blooming cactus*

Kimberly:  Thanks for reading and glad you got to see the wonderful pictures. Since this cactus only blooms at night, it is not easy getting such glowing pictures of it.

You are such a wonderful poetess ... when you saw the photographs and found your poem then we KNEW truly that they needed to get 'married' ... so 'marry' them we did~

Thanks to all for enjoying this lovely word bouquet with us~

NOW ... BettyLou ... you get to feeling better sweet lady~

My love to My RONNIE too~

Dear Joyce:  I'm sorry but I did not get your e-mail.  You might change my address to: betty.hebert@hotmail.com.  I recently changed computers and was supposed to have mail forwarded from the old address but it may not be happening.

Thanks for your comments on the book. I have no idea yet when it might be puclished. The publisher has a year. I will let you know though, when I find out.

Love
Betty Lou
