The fallen frangipanni flowers
white with yellow-gold centres
are like five-pointed stars
only softer, rounder. Their texture
looks somewhat like cream,
somewhat like very fine velvet.
Up the trumpet-shaped back
of the bloom, where it wants a stem,
are fine pink lines and green
fanning to the ends of the petals.
Apparently the rain hasn't dampened its beauty. I'm glad you're safe from the flooding, Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteThanks; me too!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to look at something other than rain when I came to write this small stone. :)
