Analysis of Fuchsia Bougainvillea Unveiled
The sand was pink and piled
High on the distant shore,
The frogs were near, the birds appeared
And waves rushed all the more.
Sand’s for playing, piling, sleeping
Beneath the sun and stars.
Sunshine rouses placid eyelids,
Descended clouds no bars!
Off through forest dale and glen
With vegetation waving,
Walking, climbing, crawling, swinging,
Discovering a haven.
Feeling welcome on the top
Of newly savored spots.
High above my head are limbs;
Below, honeysuckle cots.
Separating leaves and struggling
Into open spaces.
Views astound and dew abounds
Leaving fragrant traces.
Just one look, a color there
Arousing latent notions,
Injecting feeling into an array
Of constant motion.
Flowering branches reached and pulled
My soul to geyser-high gushes,
Tinges will remain transfixed
In memorable rushes.
