Deutzia Scabra - Sleepy Eyed

Understanding the plant as a metaphor

 Whose stir, could impolitely gain to peep

 unopened on, to tend this fluffed up cloth

 you'll widen eyes like softly gauze asleep,

 when arguably more learn'ed nodding off.

 Each flutter would elope like cotton buds

 attached to what can briskly say than do

 who stands to loaf around as formal suds,

 are barely witness warm, absorbing dew.

 Should' opened fully, since it is now May,

 and show off what this summer will enact

 on spring, there's understanding of delay,

 a tentative procurement, seasons stacked.

 Within no time at all when autumn's come

 splints comprise to dryness, eyes succumb.  

Author's Note

I hope to have an alphabetic catalogue of plants for publication next year.
