Anonymous

Blossomed solitary, a flower unseen
Colors missed; hues ignored
Fragrances ne'er sniffed
Scattered into emptiness

By planters 'n florists 
Makers unmaking their creatures 
Leaving them derelict
Forlorn in a floral paradise

Alone inside a packed bouquet
Kindred flowers, strangers by design
Precious little to share 
Save for empty stares

Your use of imagery in this poem is well-nigh perfect. I could see and smell the flowers. The last stanza was perfect.
