coleus – Leaf And Twig

Coleus Leads Fall’s Color Parade

with the zing
of a lime green
rick rack edge

flowering leaves
the dizzying combination
of chartreuse and pink

how hip
the coleus’
psychedelic trip

begonia concedes
to the formality of coleus
donning a tiara of blooms

pretty is
as pretty does
believes the flowering leaf

ancient art
magenta and chartreuse
on a fabric of life

houseplants counter
the outdoor’s red, orange and yellow
with pink and green
