Affluence of purification
please settle, please.
Lush magnificence
awaits Duenna.
Glissade: his specialty.

I was going to say I am surprised you didn’t work verdant in but then I read the comments. Lovely poem Audrey.

I’m surprised this poem hasn’t grown legs and walked off a cliff, so we both had shocked looks on our faces. Laughs a bit..thanks for approaching the poem, Butch.

I appreciate the effort given, Morgan. Oh stop. Sometimes I forget to think through what I’m sharing here. Words are intimidating, I suppose, no, I know they can be and should have chosen to share something less confusing. Burn the words and begin again some days, right. ♡

Like some of your other commenters, Audrey, I had to look up definitions for two of your words (sorry, but we’re not all gifted with huge vocabs!!) ‘Tis lovely, both the plant and the to-the-point verse!

My dear Amy, I named this plant Duenna, a word, recently passing my lips for my the first time, which felt at home here. (Governess,matron, guide…choose any) The other words…I’ve used far too many times I’m quite sure, but thank you all the same for encouraging my need to stretch poetically. Yes, deep, deeper than some, I suppose. There are many who flash by me and go far deeper, it is them I follow willingly. Again…Thank you, my friend. 🙂

I must admit that I had to Google the definition of two words in here: duenna and glissade. So thank you for expanding my vocabulary 🙂 This poem makes me think of two — opposing — wishes. On one side, a wish to settle. On the other, the wish to glide. And a tension between the two.

Duenna, she has so many beautiful layers, Gus. Governess of verdant, I believe. Glissade…slide over her and purify the soul. Settle upon her, yes, her wish, his wish/his specialty to slide, glide, run smoothly across her.
..thank you for trying to understand and doing a fine job of meeting me where my vision lays. Nothing better than a bit of spring rain to tend to our soul or plants as I may be… 🙂 (Did I really just write that?! Ugh. Sometimes I have to laugh at myself. I am multifaceted, for sure.)

I like the spring rain comment — I’m glad you really wrote that. And maybe it can be used in another of your poems? Good to be multifaceted and be able to laugh at yourself 🙂
