So I had some wine and wrote a poem the other day. It slipped my mind until I ran across it Thursday.
Being perfect artists and ingenuous poets, flowers have survived their decadence.
And since they had to be distinguished from each other, they have symbolic meanings.
Pure and passionate names that harmonize in our minds an inspired and gentle calm.
They challenge the mind with violent intoxication with which they inspire us.
So it is that certain flowers, a favorite bloom, are saluted by the receiver.
They take on form and color, by these delicious names, which deserve a poem, a novel.
So, knowing how sentimental I get about random things, this prompted a series of floral ramblings (i.e. the title - clever, I know). I also read through it again before I posted it and labeled things, which amused me for 10 whole minutes.
