Perhaps, or not was giggled
Among the blooms
That scent to catatonic stare
As softness floated all
Then standing in your garden
My gown a thousand petals
Raining summer
Most stunning your creation
Gasped for cleansing breath
Of fall
In fear the burn

I saw the title and wondered how anyone could describe that--jasmine tease

and then, dear lady you open with this most unforgettable line:

"Perhaps, or not was giggled"

MY GOSH. HOW PERFECT IS THAT?

not perfect enough, because you managed to slow scent describe the entire waft to us:

"Among the blooms
That scent to catatonic stare
As softness floated all
Then standing in your garden
My gown a thousand petals
Raining summer
Most stunning your creation
Gasped for cleansing breath
Of fall
In fear the burn"

Fantastic in form and the virtues of the metaphor are multi.

(I loved this one, can you tell?)

I, too, was captivated by the title.  Pretty crafty you are to weave this tricky one.
