Simple Beauty
Of simple beauty is the grace
Of flowers painted in a vase
The petals painted pink are placed
Among the leafy stems well traced
As blossoms go, they know their place
The petals paint a pretty face
They strike a lustrous, vivid hue
Within this painted vase of blue
Although inert, they somehow move
Within the span of their remove
They draw the eye in witness to
Their bursting out; for what they do
Is illustrate the beautiful
In pretty vases painted blue
