I'm a Growing Woman

Wednesday Poetry Prompt: Write a flower poem.  Black Gardenia  I'm the genius of my genus The refinement of my generation  Saturated with agile strength  as I grow fully under the light of the Son Blossoming in bright black beauty  woven in the wisdom of love  with lobes of inner beauty  overlapping the delicate  patterns of my imperfections  A soft composition of  depth soul & velvet celebrations Breathing in aspirations & inspiration Partially in the shades of my mystery  I am the keynote scent  of the sweetest romance  A fancy relish of black honey to tongue Smooth ebony pleasant to elegant eyes  & an exotic dream to touch 💜D'ElegantOne 

I'm back with another poem. Did you miss me poeming a poem a day (PAD), yay or nay? 😆 I was inspired and decided to join the poets in on the Wednesday Prompts, too! In celebration of my 40th year of life and my Grandma Ruby's passing (May 2017), I wrote this poem. Wednesday Poetry Prompt: Write a year poem. Ruby Jubilee I'm four decades of love, still burning the wick of life. A birthstone conceived out of the fire and desire of mother and father. A hot sapphire, pushed and mined from the Motherland of my mother. A living vessel of virtue and vibrancy, thriving in dreams and breathing in loving memory of my Grandma Ruby's ancestry. 💜D'ElegantOne
