Pink Royalty

Lorna



Peonies' pink petals please

And nod quite prettily to bees

And to the lesser plants and trees

Holding sway over their court

Of stately greenery

  • Comment from author about the poem: I just love Danny Kaye and found this funny little song........... not entirely sure what he's on about at some points but sounds like he is channeling a Scottish Louis Armstrong ........ I love reading about him - there wasn't anything that he couldn't do.......morning!

    Video didn't work for me but I love your little poem - they are lovely flowers and it's just a shame they don't last for long.

    • Lorna

      I agree Michael - they are very short-lived..... and they have to be staked up or they just flop!

      • Michael Edwards

        Bit like me lol 🙂

        • Lorna

          ha ha - that really has me laughing out loud - thanks!

          • orchidee

            You flopping?! Erm, 'too much info', to explain further?! heehee.

          • Fay Slimm.

            Ah - I love the short lines of perceptive glory in this little ode to the royal peony - - lovely read Lorna.

            • Lorna

              Thanks Fay........... I'm curious...... could you access the video? Michael couldn't so just wondering.

              Lorna,
              Loved listening to Danny Kaye...especially the part where he rolls his rrrs! When I taught ITALIAN and SPANISH, rolling the rrrs was part of our lesson!
              Beautiful peonies! Is this a pic before the storm?
              Love this...
              “Holding sway over their court
              Of stately greenery”!

              Very regal!

              ~Laura~

              • Lorna

                More regal than the picture but still........... no this is after the storm - we're pretty much back to normal and all cleaned up! Thanks L! By the way, could you pick a subject, any subject to point me to a new poem? Absolutely anything........

                • Laura🌻

                  Write about your love of horses and perhaps your youth!

                • Fay Slimm.

                  Yes I accessed the video no probs. - - I too love Danny Kaye - he was so talented.

                • orchidee

                  A fine write Lorna. I don't know what he's on about either, as video don't play for me either!

                  • Lorna

                    hmmmmmmmm odd as Fay could see it ...... oh well. If you really want to hear it you can probably just put a search in Youtube.....

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Super write, as Michael said they are lovely flowers but do not last very long.

                    • Lorna

                      I'm not going to either if this garden doesn't settle down and let me watch it instead of work in it.............
