King of leaves,
Basil,
Rising from the earth with
Sweet luxury of smell
You awaken the senses
And fuel the soul
Splashed upon the fruits
Of our triumphant culinary
From Greece to China to Genoa,
With rich silk
And elegance one could only dream
A dragon of might
You stand proud
Past the picking
Past the rough paths,
Cold breezes
Still you shine,
Beloved basil
Amid us who cannot decide
You know your duty
Relentlessly,
You grow, grow
Asking nothing in return
A servant of stem
A dreamer of multiplicity
A flowering of life!

I must admit that one of my favorite parts of biology 119--intro to plants--was being able to experience basil. Such a sweet smell.

 reports, 1d 12h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.71 Community Relations Newsletter - Nov/Dec 2009$Moonbeam13
