Capucine

Beautiful white flower thriving,
Unique mysterious to the world
Nasturtium flower Name for queen
Recognize as the capucine

She embraces the dream of the night
Beautiful white flower thriving
Soft yellow face, striking red hair
Green eyes shine the nighttime brighter

Soft gorgeous green dress harmonize
Her soft green eyes as the stars bright
Beautiful white flower thriving
Star of the night name capucine

Joyful flower of the nighttime
No soft flash as her eyes shy light
Sparkly her pale white skin as the
Beautiful white flower thriving

    hmm, feels like you're somewhere in the old castle, watching the night strangers passing through the secret doors in their world they're trying to hide behind the night

    Beautiful beautiful imagery! I don't know which picture flashed in my mind more often; a beautiful lady in the middle of a forest, or a beautiful flower with all it's glory... lol
    And I like that! ^_^

    You truly are an amazing poet, especially when it comes to your wording. You can design such beautiful stories that really take the attention of the reader and take them to this place you tell about. And that place is truly filled with beauty.

    That was a really interesting form

    of poetry. It didn't seem to interupt the flow either.
    I enjoyed it, and the words chosen to write this poem!
    good job dear poet and thanks for introducing us to a
    unique form and structure.
