圓仔花,不知醜?每年6-11月,它總綻放屬於它的光采

文/張默;圖/鐘麗琴

 
圓仔花
 
不管是千日紅,呂宋菊
 
或者是惹人愛憐的雞冠花
 
不管它的花期有多長
 
它能嘻嘻哈哈的永遠醒著嗎
 
從每年6月到11月
 
在那180天的進程中
 
它總是自然天生、無比帥氣
 
以極其璀璨的美
 
以極其悠雅的風采
 
綻放它獨特的奇異的喜悅
 

 
咱們每天總是十分親切的對著
 
它那絕對的三角披針形
 
依稀難以詮釋的美感
 
且任愛詩人不得不打從心裡
 
發出莫名可狀的讚嘆
 
請看,它粉紅與橢圓交織
 
請看,它淡紫與花瓣輕飛
 
每年一到情人節
 
大家把它細細葉葉的切割
 
這一尊小小藝術品,確實人見人愛
 
歷久不絕
 

BACHELOR’S BUTTON 

Be it globe amaranth,makhmali,
 
or the lovely vadamalli,
 
the Bachelor’s Button is always grinning,comely,
 
as long as the rain visits her
 
with messages from the sea.
 
From June to November,
 
Bachelors’s Button grows nearby,
 
awaits every sunrise
 
and falls asleeo at night.
 
It is au naturel, without a hint of artifice.
 
Resplendent and dazzling,
 
She burgeons and flourishes,
 
with joy nonpareil.
 

 
Her admirers drink in her shades of
 
shades of magenta, purple, red,
 
orange, white, pink, and lilac.
 
That sort of beauty impossible to describe.
 
She fascinates painters and poets,
 
like a fused corolla whorl
 
attracts birds and bees.
 
As the petals have spread their beauty.
 
Spreading happiness all around,
 
She is an efflorescent masterpiece.
