Falling Flower


   A single flower died today.
   Grew bright yellow petals,
   With soft green leaves.
   A sturdy stalk,
   I was quite pleased.

   Slowly the petals faded away.
   Leaves twisted brown and crinkled fell.
   Stalk bowed and broke.
   Faded petals gathered round at the end.
   Seed pods sprinkled to start the flower again.
