Lilies Poems - Poems about Lilies

Trumpet-like lilies by the lake preen for the flamboyant flamingo, sifting through the murky waters, searching for algae and shrimp where crawdads click and clatter. While silvery fish glide stealthily leaving barely a ripple behind, a chorus of frogs’ croaks echo like the whining twang of a plucked banjo string. Dragonflies skim the water’s surface as their translucent wings shimmer like gems in the sunlight, dart about the...

Hair hoist with heat streams Since eyes sleepless take dreams, The beautiful thing that I...

On placid waters of the reflecting pool, petals fully open as in a gesture of silent imploring, surrounded by a world of shimmering reflections. Small red carp feed on tiny insects then disappear below, leaving ever widening circles that skim and intersect through each other.

Cleverness in chaos. Twisted mischief threads beneath razor intellect. Urban antiquity, out of place, sherry to eyelash to eye. Her cigarettes go better with beer wisdom and starry sky humidity. Grand Dame, ferocious girl. Lead me up a garden path that stings until 5am on barren streets. Vampiric. Languid. There is no elegant sufficiency, no want contained. Faded lilies. Threadbare wisdom swings to giggling gallows below, aloft. One more drink? Reckless friend, take my...

My borders are made of lilies. They are a pleasant reminder where caution begins and conflicts end. To those who know me, my borders are made with forgiveness, a kind and patient floral display. To those who try me, they are battle trenches that are now forgotten and unmarked graves. I have many flowers to give. They are a welcomed...

Consider how the lilies grow, they do not toil, nor do they sew yet still the beauty of their bloom dwarfs that of cloth from any loom.

In a glass vase, the lilies' buds gently unfold, With pallid pink shades, a sight to behold. Their perfume fills up the entire space, Refreshing the air in my quiet place. I take deep breaths to experience the treasure, Can’t have enough of this fragrant pleasure. An unspoken communication they have with me, Through petals, colors and aromas, they speak to me. They...

Here come April showers. Here come the last snow flurries. The trees are jolly and rejuvenating, Since the weather is now cool, spring Is here. Yes, the lilies are blooming. Here come the fledgling flowers. The parks have extended their hours. The children are roller skating and playing, The track and field team is practicing, And the dog owners are smirking and strolling. Spring is...
