Analysis of Calla lilies
Abundance of white in the front yard
Tall stem, hollow and hard
Gracefullness in form in the flower bed
Big flower, wacky its head
Delightfulness in view in the kitchen front
Rich green like a pond
You'r unable to take your eyes off
Calla lilies right next to the water trough
