Wisteria vines
Stand for immortality
With poison in pods
Political men
Promise a garden of rose
And thorns intended
Young couples get spliced
Beneath the lavender-glow
Best wishes for them

I like the balance between hope/beauty and the dark/dangerous in this piece! Nice write!
ReplyDeleteWisteria really is quite beautiful, and if I remember correctly, it has a strong smell.. I like the poem :)
ReplyDeleteOuch! Like a sheathed dagger. Makes me think of Romeo and Juliet a little. Great writing!
ReplyDeleteI love that first stanza!
ReplyDeleteI love that closing thought and the poison pods...nicely written...thank you, Sumana!
ReplyDelete…Ah! We both picked up on the "love" theme.
ReplyDeleteSome interesting - and eternal - contrasts here, Sumana.
