Analysis of Luxurious Lotus
Veronica Juliet Toth 1961 (South Australia)
Luminous lotus awakens the universe
Life responds in white and pink verse,
The shy violet enters creation,
Luscious purple rises above its station
Violet nectar aids recuperation,
Amaranth leaves the invigoration,
Lavender is the gentleman’s friend;
Mignon flowers that have no end.
Supreme lotus unfolds its dazzling petals
The centre is its jewel. a radiant crown of metals
Up in the ether nival clouds mimic its pageantry
All of the earth’s flora and fauna marvel at its majesty.
Magical, mysterious lotus composes a sonnet;
A craftsman of excellence it makes a regal bonnet,
Maharajahs and monarch’s pursue memorizing perfume
The petals tend like a white peacock’s plume.
The finality of flower speech is the lotus langue
This masterpiece of mantra stamen for a tongue
Created by the solar system in constant flux;
The mystery is the lotus crux.
Veronica Juliet Toth.
