Best Peonies Poems

I saw a pretty garden today full of pink peonies. It brought back a sweet
memory of my mother's garden. I can still see us in her beautiful garden
trimming. Later, we would sit in the shade admiring our work . . . 

the softest of pink

Frilled edges of flora in bloom
Along my garden’s fences
Sweet scent of peony perfume
Invades my senses
They dance on stately stems
Pink skirts ruffled at their hems...

From deep winter slumber, she slowly awakes, and a fresh cycle starts with rebirth.
By spring, tiny shoots in deep ruby red, set out to emerge from the earth.
A passel of stems grows healthy and strong, encouraging leaves to unfurl.
And young baby buds beginning to form,...

every illusion starts with a wish
or a hope perhaps, and mine is this
that I'm the hundreds of petals that remain
and with each petal lost I won't feel this pain

abundance is missed when eyes look to cause
metronomic time spent analysing flaws
to drown silently in the water...

peonies bring back memories of my mum

her flower patch and gifted green thumb

from merely one fragrant bloom

its scent filled the room

imbuing

sweet

fragrances
 
to each fresh bouquet

she’d proudly put on display

on seeing one, there’s but one outcome,

peonies bring back memories of my mum...

Pink, with elegant, sun-loving petals, scented,
plush and lush, like hued nebulae, suspended.
Preoccupied with visitors, south wind and rain,
plum butterflies and more, ever coming again! 
Pretty prestige; minty green, garden's delight,
Pearly pink buds, under nomad clouds of white,
Peaceful in nature, like a silvery moon at night....

Multi colored flowers
Fresh in bloom smells fragrant
Bloomish flora garden


Daffodil flowers
Placed in my garden
By the Peonies

The peonies by the front porch are gone
Late this year they lingered, never fading,
Reds, pinks, and white made warm bouquets
For the gravesites of family and friends in May.

The honeybees feasted on the peony blooms
As did the ants who love their sweet nectar,
Until rains came and...

Peonies plum and white
on the table of grace
at nigh sundown's scarlet;
greet the hour with fragrance
as dusk becomes starlit.

Peonies plum and white
bring joy to the evening
of gold tinged memory,
from the gemmed purple vault
of old time's treasury.

Peonies plum and white
from the sunlit glory
of peach, satin breezes;
frills in...

a generous bouquet
of sumptuous peonies
if you please
gracing the parlour
in all its splendour

it’s tea time
we’ve brought out 
the lace cloths
the best china
and warm scones
for our dear friends
