Poems A-Z Jasmine

6/7/2010

The Jasmine blooms on warm summer night

Intoxicating scent for the humming bird flight

The beauty in both her bloom and her scents

While clinging precariously to chain linking fence

Some petals get chosen to be worn in the hair

Others experience crushing, to freshen the air

Some just float away, on a babbling brook

While others get squeezed by the page of a book

However the Jasmine, might be chosen to serve

For fragrant employ of the olfactory nerve

One thing’s for certain, from near and from far

In the universe of flowers…the Jasmine’s a star

David Kettler

The word for the letter J was Jasmine. I can’t say that I knew much about this flower except that it looks nice and smells real good. I learned that it is made into tea, essential oils, and perfume. I do remember my Mom saying on a balmy evening, “can’t you just smell the Jasmine!?”
