Pollination

by Shadow Sanctuary

All of the Pharaoh's favorite colors in the world beat against his satin hummingbird wings as he seeks to suckle the rarest lotus nectar of his era.

Author's Note: I apologize for this. partially ruined the word art for my poem. From "humming" to "discovers", the phrase was intended to arc over, mimicking the bill of a hummingbird. "Nectar" to "with" was supposed to mirror a cone shape, like the bud of a flower. The only section that followsmy original designis the straight line of "early morning dew", assuming the appearance of a plant stem. Although the formatting has been altered, the meaning isn't (and will never be). As always, readers are encouraged to take what they wish from this, but the intentional theme was that of love, lust, and romance. The "hummingbird" is "drawing out" the "nectar" from a flower, two species unite, couple, then part, with only the "early morning dew" serving as evidence that "pollination" hasoccurred. If you have any further questions about what I'm conveying, please feel free to E-mail me and I'll spell out the literal details...
