Lilly Poem by Will B a Poet

Lilly



Lilly, exotic flower, this ones from brazil.
she sits beside me for a photo opportunity
and puts forth fragrant words,
that I don't understand, but her smile completes the picture
and we are both satisfied we have captured this moment
in time perfectly.

The Bouquet
First Ana then Helder wanted a poem.
I told him his name looks like held her, which he did.
But they don't pronounce the H.
So that makes him a sort of flower too, as in Elder.
Ana holds the fragrance just like lilly.
But I'll toast to Helder, for his skill in mixing people together,
in a fine tasteful bouquet.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This was written in the Elephant House restaurant in Edinburgh.
There were group of Brazilians at two tables next to me and we got talking and Lilly asked me to write a poem afterwards two of her friends also requested one even though they could not speak english, the poems were eventually read out by someone who translated them into portuguese much to their appreciation.
