Flowers Are Special

Flowers are special; 
even weeds often have
startlingly beautiful blossoms 
that make one forget about allergies
till the first sniffle
or watery eye…

So, what are we to conclude?

That something pleasing to
the eye can, sadly, be little more
than an optical lie--

As with every rare 
and appealing scent:
not all, necessarily, Venus
or Clark Kent….

For sure. And not always. Each situation should be judged by its own merits. Thank you, Si. Have a great day!
