farcical bloomery

arqios

 

In the meadow of impossible mornings,

the daisies exhale in a trumpet’s blush,

petals fluttering like embarrassed fans as

the air fills with laughter disguised as wind.

 

Rosehip hiccups, clouds of lavender smoke,

their thorns rattling like spoons in a drawer.

Lilies bow low, releasing secret choruses,

a brass band hidden in their stems.

 

Children chase the gusts,

catching invisible balloons of fragrance,

while the sky itself wrinkles with mirth,

blue fabric stitched by invisible seams.

 

And I, wandering through this orchestra,

learn that Beauty isn't always solemn—

it giggles, it sputters, farting flowers fair,

a garden of jokes blooming in full colour.

      Nature full of paradox, beauty is more than a veneer. It shines from within and laughs at the arrogant and haughty. It does not deem itself as anything more than what it is and has a charm of its own. A lovely poem light hearted but with a message. Nicely done my friend

          I'm thinking of the flowers in my garden, who tend to do a runner when they see me coming.
          Now that you've mentioned farting flowers, a new plan is forming.

                  Arqios, this is delight and depth all at once…nature laughing through its own imperfections. A symphony of silliness done masterfully, my friend.πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
