David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

For BiteSize Contest Poetry Contest no117 Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

Crumpled Flower

Crumpled flower by the roadside,
sadly wilted, withered, and dried -
for asking, I beg your pardon:
whilst never cared for in a garden,
were you pretty before you died?
I love you, 'cuz I know you tried.

Gershon Wolf June 29, 2025 at 7:46 PM Yours is a sweet soul, David. Can't imagine myself having this kind of conversation. ~ Mr. Tough Guy David Crandall June 29, 2025 at 7:56 PM Thanks, Gershon, but there's no shame in not talking to dead flowers on the side of the road. I guess when the flowers start to answer me, that's when I need to worry.
