Subject(s): Poppies
Poppies!
Bright tongue of living flame,
Velvet fire,
Flashes of faeries' wings,
Chaliced desire,
Pigment of artists' dreams
Burst into bloom,
Miniature sunbursts
Startling the gloom!
Poppies!
Pure as Aurora tints,
Exquisite attire,
Colorful allurement
Wrought to inspire,
Satin of radiancy,
Glow of the sun,
Heat, color, light, and gold
Melted in one!
