The Climber Poem by Valsa George

The Climber

Rating: 5.0


In my garden
A climber grows
From the trellised platform
It strays its way
Trespassing into others territory
Annoying the plants
Growing close

Its emerald leaves
Of bright glossy sheen
With serrated edge
And prominent veins
Trembling and timorous
When whipped by the wind
Is a real delight to view!

Close to monsoon
It is in flower
The heavy clusters
Droop down in weight
A medley of white, pink and red
Languidly sway in breeze
Giving off a faint aroma

Early morning I see them
Tear stained
I wonder what makes them cry
Do they lament their transient fate?
Or are they sad,
Molested by amorous bees?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so well written I can smell them, am soothed by their soft swaying in the breeze. You paint your poems with a delicate and fine sable paint brush, each detail caught in eloquent verses. Most excellent!

Excellent write. Richly descriptive. And the last verses lend so much weight to the write when the poet questions....do they lament their transient fate or are they sad...molested by amorous bees? This says a lot about life....and gives the poem a human identification. A big 10.

My Jasmine is a rather unruly climber. It's now decided to wander into my large Rose bush. Your climber looks magnificent and your description is equally so! A beautiful poem, Valsa. Flowers give us so much pleasure and if they attract bees all the better. Tom Billsborough

Beautiful poem enhanced by real picture that you took in your backyard. You grow the plant, nurture it, describe in a poem, and express your deep feelings. The plant will feel there is someone who cares.
