Pure White Peonies (series of Haiku)
by Moses Hochstetler (Age: 59)
copyright 08-15-2003


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
I adore the gift
Of purest white peonies
That you gave to me

Their soft sweet perfume
Drips of golden honey wine
To flame my desire

Intoxicating
Inhibitions of my heart
So long neglected

As watered flowers
Imbibe the amber sunshine
I drink the essence

Of your am'rous gift
Of purest white peonies
that you gave to me

Round lead crystal vase
Clear as the blue coral sea
Upon the mantle

Displays the willing
Petals of your sweet pleasure
To all the world

absolutely spiffy-gorgey, but shouldn't "corral" (line 2, second-to-last haiku) be "coral"?

The pure gift of love compared to white peonies makes this a beautiful write, Moses.

Very nice. I enjoyed this poem. It's a beautiful arrangement. Besides. I've always been rather fond of Haiku's. Somethign about them always flowed just right. Great job.

Victoria: In this instance, I meant to use the word "willing" as "wilting" sounds too morbid and depressing, since I made the peony petals synonomous with her love, which she willingly, with "pleasure," gives to me.

Yes again, Moses, your talent leaves me stunned. I found everything almost immaculate except in the last stanza you say "willing" instead of "wilting". Everything else is absolutely perfect. I liked this style too, you should write more like it.

Moses: You picked one of the most beautiful flowers on earth to write about. The Peony is the Queen of the Garden Flowers. I also like the rich history behind it - dating back over 4,000 years! The Chinese and Japanese favor these flowers above all. Wasn't there a Trojan legend about the power of the Peony to cure wounds? Anyway, this is a great poem. Thanks for sharing.
Warm regards,
Gregory
