Garden Of Colorful Reality
(Harrisham Sonnet)
Within the fluorescence of white magnolia cups,
novel droplets of rainfall mingle and dance.
Layers of lilac tulips sway, standing up,
sweetness of roses fill love in the ambiance,
surging winds drink rain's transparent syrup,
gracefully the pink lotuses float in this romance.
In the mouths of red hibiscus lips, hide some bees,
natural garlands of orange marigolds adorn the earth,
lovely water drops on magenta hollyhocks please,
yellow gladiolus also savor the light showers of mirth,
wave to the skies, the bottle brushes on trees,
elegantly breathes this garden of spectacular worth.
Arranged not as bouquets at any wedding today,
decorating the nature, flowers relish this day.
