frangipani -
flowering plants primarily deciduous
silurian -
geologic period typified by beginnings of
life on land with appearance of moss and lichens
inchor - fluid flowing in the veins of the gods.
mikado - monarch in Japan's constitutional
monarchy
mise - a legal proceeding upon a writ of right
oscine - songbirds with highly developed vocal
organs.
Never one to anticipate
Of a spectacle unduly common
Greenery as far as the eyes
Could see
A sea of frangipani
That bathed the landscape
A far cry from the beginnings
From the Silurian age
When life on earth bore
No complications
Life forms had just made appearances
Of simple moss and lichens
Perhaps the blessings of the gods
With inchor of
golden fluid
Flowing glowingly in their veins
And just as blue blood
That had taken refuge in the
Mikado’s regal being
No mise of any kind
to stifle
The orderly cycle of life on earth
Even with oscine
creatures
Extending a hand
With a handy rendition
of sweet
Evergreen melodies
Life was destined to progress
