Red Spider Lily Poem by Ima Ryma

Red Spider Lily



Lycoris radiata be
A plant with flowers stranded red.
Oft called the red spider lily,
Associated with the dead,
Planted in cemeteries to
Be for departed a tribute,
And aid the departed to do
Successful afterlife pursuit.
The flowers bloom in early fall,
Especially with heavy rain,
Lovely in time and place for all
In the cemetery domain.

Considered bad luck many say
If alive you get a bouquet.
