Georgette Gerdes: Camellia

pink ‘n pretty
with your delicate petals
so exact
symmetrical
flouncing with the morning dew
you bask in the sun or dappled shade
oh how you tease Madam

Japanese princess
how I have worshipped you
sung your praises
given you water
yet you deny me

brown buds lady
it ain’t fair

yet

a single bloom
in all these months

is worth the wait
