(Re-posted from The Corner Pub to sate the hopeless summer romantic's vagary!  ) Azalea Glade By: Noah Eaton 9/26/03 Your blush has won me Discovering my fragile passion I make this constitutional Deep within the calico of your womanhood Skulking in forests of strawberry ice Within the purple satin of this azalea glade… White lightning cradled over the river Where the fawn drinks of jasmine wine Stamens of tangelo tie-dye the mother-of-pearl sky Scarlet pistil, make the dawn come alive Honeymoon honey never tasted so sweet Plumleaf desserts shared in this azalea glade… Little Macanthra, your cheeks of bing cherry cherubs Sakuragata smiles, pink pancake fantasies Little pitchers filled with honeydew juice Bee-dazzlers napping under rose-shell parasols Peachy keen children, with lemon drop freckles Mandarin light belly buttons, and orchid lollipop grins Tossing starfish beachballs in this azalea glade… Beyond a pleasant creek of buttermilk rouge This Satsuki festival lasts more than a month Coral bells chiming crystal wine-glass serenades The Carmine Queen and the cherry-blossom maharajah All-a-glow with the royalty in this tussah silk kingdom Come, dear magical maiden, and I shall take you there Beyond the poppyseed trail of this azalea glade…   "You'll find something that's enough to keep you But if the bright lights don't receive you You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20 |

Mmmmm, Azalea's, most beautiful, as is this. Like dancing amongst wind strewn petals in the warm kiss of the setting sun.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
