Fatal Attraction

10/3/14

Beside me lays a Tigerlily

Petals ripe with outer beauty,

But like a fruit from Eve's garden

It tells you that it is forbidden.

Stem as elegant

As the plumes of a snowy peacock,

Pollen as yellow as the tail

Of a basking lion.

Beside me lays a dandelion

White as a porcelain doll,

Wispy as a vixen

In her busiest hour.

Should you touch it,

With such grace it will snap,

Closed, forevermore

For you've become another victim of Venus flytrap.
