She softly displays,
A shapely chalice of,
Virtuous petals.
Faint freckling,
A bashful exposé,
Yet offering to be,
Rosa-choque.
Content within,
Blazing rays.

Beautiful, and the “content within” part stood out to me as being very lovely — the flower finding happiness within itself.

Have you written any poetry lately?

Lately, no… I need to get in the habit of it instead of just writing stuff when I feel particularly inspired. I have some I need to post though.

The more you write the better you get, but if it isn’t your passion you should just write when your inspired. The authenticity of your poetry will remain that way. I think, anyway.
