Perianth

I wonder if you’d pause to take
My fragrance, my aplomb
Or the way that my brow furrows
When consternation alights

I wonder if you’d remark on
My penchant for dark humor
Or the way my feet ache
When long lines try my patience

Regardless, with your petal array
I think I’ll drink you in

    hmmm... I like this new system where you just hit the "return the favor" button on notes and wind up at old poems that won silver and nary a comment. How intriguing. I like dark humor and as for petal arrays, well... sounds sexy!

      Would that it were so easy...

      ...to sound sexy. Thanks for the read. I'll be sure to provide more dark humor in the future.
