Bracted bougainvillea bounties
Scrambling over stone walls
Magenta masses of magic
Over a mantle of green
Heart shaped leaves,
Arms outstretched.
Out with it, he said.
Thorny, knarly knots, he said.
Nay, she said.
Blooms the colour of her sari,
Buds akin to her kumkuma bindi,
Body as graceful as Shakti and Lakshmi.
Blessings all hers, hers, hers!
Her precious… come summer or winter.
Lovely

Wow, nice words Kavitha and what lovely bloos. I have a pink Bougainvillea at the corner of our lot. It is presently flowering now and I love the pink blooms, they are so lovely.

Thank you Arlene, my husband argues with me often, he complains that he cannot park his car, that it will get scratched. A polish job is cheaper for me than having my bougainvilleas cut. Its an ongoing battle that I intend to win. Eventually.

Lovely poem! Bougainvillea in full bloom are such cheerful looking flowers. I used to have a bright pink one in my garden. When it was time to cut it back,I had a hard time finding someone to do it because of the thorns.
