bouquet of words in verbal display
like orchids and calla lilies
on a bright, summer day

nectar-drenched petals in full parade
so macy-like, so tournament of
roses’ blooms in a game of charade

speaking soft whispers to the scent of the soul
exorcising thought-blooms hand-written
like melancholy labels that address the whole

of the being of sights, smells and even sounds
that nature brings with each supernal symphony
brought to earth’s misery in which life abounds

a spray of appreciation for the verbiage of delight
bringing ecstasy and fantasy  and reality
by the mere garland of their ability and might

which by simple arrangement touch the heart
and by subtle agreement convince the mind
that the soul can be satisfied by their well-played part

of a bouquet of words in a verbal display

steavenr, your bouquet of words are a delight and an inspiration. Enjoyed it very much. Came back to look at things and realized instead of putting your name in the beginning of the comments I put We, and I have no idea where that came from.

I like it very much and this is a fine example of such a bouquet.

Many examples of opportunities expressed in this Steaven....Let the words flow when it suits the creator's mind.

Loved it!

Very beautifully written. I loved the imagery. I like it when I can picture poems in my head.

Jerry, ‘We’ appreciate your comments (whomever the we may be)  

Eric, thanks for the ‘opportunities’ …it is always good when the words flow…then, I need not think…something I like to do a lot

Kat, a bouquet for your inspirations and a handful of thanks for the gracious comments

Doc Angel, then we share the imagery in the mind thing…love those mental picture poems myself…thank you

Faith, thank you…you are far too kind, your words…"awesome, unique, and beautiful"…I should be using the wow!

Blues…your comments always are appreciated, but this time I do have a question…are ‘emtions’ related to ‘exemptions’ or ‘pre-emptions’ or is it that old game of Cowboys & ‘Emtions’   ...sorry, couldn't resist
