Sonnet 091



Sonnet 091
Laijon Liu 20160515

Red roses are the gifts of lovers
Plum blossom in snow like warriors
Sunflowers are the friends of light
Bittersweet hold property of truth
Peonies are beauty for wealthy nobles
Cherry Blossoms are shattered heart of samurai
Bamboos flexible gentlemen, Magnolia purity solitude
Old wrinkled sturdy pines stand ever green
Life only for a single night, blooms in a pearl gown
Enduring faith grows in the desert sand
Hermit in the valley, lowly and humble
Miracles born of sludge, splendors out of pond
You are the crown of thorns
All beauties bloom in you
