NaPoMo poem #13-A
This is the thirteen-A of the poems I will be writing each day here in April, in honor of National Poetry Month, as proclaimed by the Academy of American Poets.
This poem is inspired by the most beautiful, most sensual, and my most favorite of all the flowers of our planet — the orchid.
• NOTE: these poems will all essentially be early drafts, so edits may occur after their initial posting.
Orchid
•
young orchid
fresh-bloomed
engorged
bursting with life’s urgency
vibrant
and seductive
dewy lips
of supple petal
lay tender open
a velvet pistil
of gentle blush
is enwrapped
in a throat of fiery hue
so exhilarating
enticing
as it lilts
and sways
a fragrance
that intoxicates
wafts
from sensuous folds
the lush bouquet
tantalizes
eyes embrace
the vision rare
as senses stir
pleasured
in this heady moment
captive
by such vital beauty
consumed
one savors slowly
exquisitely delicious
this tender bud
full bloomed
