Caren Krutsinger Poet Imagism

Forgotten Beauties

The new owners 
marveled at the 
long forgotten perky mini doilies 
with their dainty white petals

two layers of weeds away
from soft pink hollyhocks 
hidden for forty years
alongside the forgotten abandoned barn

a human had probably not seen
any of these dainty delights since the eighties
when the farm was lost by the family
to bankruptcy

Susan Jeavons July 4, 2019 at 11:46 AM Caren, it's sad when places are abandoned, but there's a hopeful scenario with the new owners. Lovely poem. Hugs and blessings, Susan Caren Krutsinger July 4, 2019 at 12:07 PM Yes, and when the new owners find these beauties, I hope they transplant them to the garden near the house.
