Josephine Monteau Poet Prose Poetry

Helpless An

A million feet stomp,
A million shoes, a million suits
Her petals have flattened into the ground
It’s rush hour
A woman stops briskly,
A happy change for her
Bending slowly with the stampede around her
She picks up the flower and brings her home.

John Watt February 17, 2020 at 12:41 PM Alexandra, congrats on your top placement. You've captured a snapshot of a human soul with this brief write, but I think you illustrated the Nin quote elegantly. Well done ~ John Josephine Monteau February 18, 2020 at 8:53 AM Thank you!
