valerie bellefleur Biography

Oh plump pink rose from heaven
my tiny butterfly heart dances

How humble am I in this garden of delights
...

Yellow lotus petals dance on ripples of reflecting pool
in garden of the seventh moon
under silver starred sky, geisha sit neath tree of
raining blossoms caught by jasmine scented breeze
...

Up creaky flight of narrow stairs
Into a room thick with nostalgia

Scent of old wartime forgotten perfumes
...

Back in 1933 when
I was only ten
Grandpa Leroy came to live
With me and Ma and Ben
...

Rice paper lanterns swing gently
In a jasmine scented breeze
Casting a reflective glow
On pink lotus blossoms
...
