I had to change a few words for the sake of rhythm Magnolia From within the fine magnolia tree White virgin petals of purity Beg for a moment of sweltering disgrace From caressing the sun upon their face As perfect milky wings unfold And flaunt their splendor to behold A sunbeam raptured by the bloom Then reaches out to petal’s plume Lovingly the gentle flower Blossoming from sun’s great power Embraces all the warmth and care With no reserve of the affair She turns her face to reap the touch Within the strength of sunbeam’s clutch Majestically she shows her grace The lovely sundrenched ivory face She waits suspended in the tree In perfect pose, so longingly For me to find her and consume Her elegance and sweet perfume The sun looks down in ecstacy And worships the magnolia tree Elizabeth Santos |

Butterflies, Thank you dear, your challenge poem was exquisite Lakewalker, I appreciate your comment Mark, A poem comes out of a thought or intriguing line. You did the hard part. I just filled in the blanks. Thank you for your original post - great idea. Liz |
