Beauty Contained

Beauty contained radiates quietly
Elegant like Wisteria neatly pruned
On a trelllis with blooms weeping lightly
Grace and beauty sending a merry tune

Beauty running wild up and down the streets
Is like Wisteria running through tall pine trees
Pretty for a very short time one of spring's facets
Someday will die from lack of root strength disease

Tulips with their rainbow of spring colors
Sit still in place letting their beauty glow
Contained bless landscapes with multicolor
Not running here_there still put on a show

Some flowers do "run wild" like wisteria and jasmine on vines and they're always a delight to behold. But tulips are more delicate and few flowers can match their beauty. What a wonderful poem, Sara. This can be read on more than one level if you think of people as the "running wild" or "sitting in place" types. Love that last line! Great work. Best wishes, Carolyn
