There is a flower Nymphs – favor-
And Fairies – prefer –
To gain the Purple Ambrosia
The Pythia – desire –

 

Author’s Note: The flower word for Ambrosia is “love reciprocated”. The Pythia, a sacred prophetess devoted to god Apollo in ancient Greek Delphi, lived a rather secluded solitary life, perching on the brink of social isolation, for she sacrificed herself to the devotion to Apollo, the beautiful god of the sun, music, medicine, and knowledge. But it is quite possible that this Pythia might have secretly fallen in love with a mortal man for no other reason than being a woman of flesh and spirit. Lamentably, her love was unrequited and never returned. She was cursed to live alone till her last breath on earth.  

About Bluebells

The tears of dryads in a forest, naiads in waters

over the death of their beautiful prince

morphed into the flowers of dainty bluebells

vowing to the constancy of doleful remembrance

of the once fair face of their beloved with kisses.

 

P.S. I love the flower words of Bluebells: Loyalty and Constancy.
