Captured Flowers Suffering

And then the snow came whispering “Death to all fragile things in root!” Brute force aided by ice ages legacy Fall to the place where zeros go To war zeros plunge far below barometers March off with visions of marigolds immortality In measure, conjuring up lost worlds Like magicians who make things disappear And into history things go missing Prisoners of their own devices cry Flowers should know better then to grow In environments less hospitable than Earth Frozen hell is no place to raise their young Shivering becomes unworthy of a word Temperatures like cold keep tumbling Planets and plants know their depths Which takes them to new lows Conditions not worthy of them both “And Now!” “Uproot yourselves!” “Come with me!” There will be no soothing rain today No season to remember geraniums No reason to remain oblivious to oblivion Asteroids could end things quickly But snow keeps drifting on the lawn Capturing a fragrance at the core Flowers have no where to go Pain awaits the frozen hour Have you no shame? Have you no dignity? It is Winter just the same Time to hold pretty flowers captive And accountable for their actions
