This is a shot of a flower from Psychotria elata, a small understory tree in tropical forests whose flowers are affectionately known as 'Hooker's Lips'.

First, the write is sensuously playful. (You do this well, btw.) You weave a trail through your garden, then admit, it really is a garden. Great work, doing all that.
But you did get me curious about the plant. one of 1900 species in the "psycotria elata" family, many as strange as this one. Great job. My education continues.

Oh geez. I think I'm gonna need a refill on my coffee. you are at it again! ;) I had no clue what to expect when I saw the title, but I was ready for anything. Then I read it and realized I was so wrong! You have the advantage of being on Eastern time, give me a few hours to catch up to your mind.
You have created a masterpiece here. The poem is very suggestive and sensual and the dual meanings are done quite artfully. Clever Creative writing Frieda!

If you want to know me, read my poetry, it's all in there. I am a mother of three sons (my finest moments) a sister, a survivor and a little bit crazy. I lost my beloved sister to suicide, so you'll.. more..
