Tiger Lily, by lacebutterflies Subscribe to rss feed for lacebutterflies

Vibrant flashes of color
Muted together
Into a single flower.
Each petal 
Possessing
A story,
A secret,
A tale of beauty and seduction.
Wildly untamed,
And uninhibited,
It challenges
the quieter daisies,
Boasting of its
Splendor,
And its Magnificance.
It knows no shyness,
No regret.
Laughing quickly,
The tiger lily stands tall,
Like the soldier
It really is,
In the gentle,
Late spring afternoon.

Superb! I can almost smell the beauty, feel the colors. You paint with words like Van Gogh paints with brushes and canvas.
