This post is in response to Trifecta's Trifextra Weekend challenge. We challenge you to write a poem of your own in either 33 words, 3 lines or 3 stanzas.I chose to do the 33 words. Here is what I came up with, inspired by this picture I took.
Bloom Where You're Planted
Blooming into the light. Growing into pure brilliance. Boasting an
aroma that captures the essence of life. Limited hours of a
wondrous sight. Petals fade as tears fall. A true beauty lost forever.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the way it moved emotionally from joyous to sad so quickly.
Nice job!
Thanks for that compliment! I hoped to cover how fast life goes by. :)
DeleteLife is fleeting...like a flower. Good sentiment and well written :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteThe photo and your words go so well together. I didn't even notice the drops on the petals until you mentioned tears. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim.
DeleteThat's beautiful, Mel. I thought the same as Kim with the "tears" reference. The short life of a flower has always been kind of sad to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's my favorite flower in our yard. I look forward to its bloom all year. :)
DeleteEvening primroses are born one night and dead by the middle of the next day. Even though you've got a totally different flower pictured, that was what I thought of.
ReplyDeleteThis one is my favorite flower in the yard. Over the 8 years we've been here, it has spread around and different colored bushes have popped up. :) Thanks for reading, JQ
