    In the Garden of Florida

    Sonnet for sue reddy-silverman


    This sonnet was written for my darling co-host at EWNN, Sue Reddy-Silverman. She requested it, and I am delivering. Enjoy this Sue…

    In the Garden of Florida

    South, in the heat of the peninsula

    To the very end, a lover wanders

    Roams the sultry garden of  Florida

    And he can see one of nature’s wonders

    A spunkier flower cannot be found

    And more colorful petals, there are none

    Vibrant stems, slick leaves- firm buds, pert, and round

    A moist stamen begging to be undone

    Her dear blossom widens for her man’s hand

    The honey will flow wet, sticky, and sweet

    She’ll quiver at the bee stinger’s demand

    Then she’ll collapse- wilt at her lover’s feet

    That flower, that wild bloom, that aroma

    Teasing from the garden of Florida

    Years ago I started writing Flash Fiction for just the sheer enjoyment of writing, and now it has turned into a full blown addiction. I can't quit the horse, man! Another dirty little secret about me is my ability to write all kinds of web content. SEO content, articles, blog posts, manifests; you name it, I'll write it. Looking for some help?
