Trisha Sugarek Poet Free verse

My Perfect Posy

I found a garden
A perfect bloom in the middle of a verdant
sea of green

a sip of rain balanced upon a rosy peach petal
reflecting the flames of sunrise
I stopped to ponder its loveliness

A cold metal thing, all angry voices
and slashing blades
swept by and
murdered my perfect posy

Franci Hoffman August 4, 2023 at 2:59 PM Nature's gifts face challenges the same as us humans. Seems unfair to snuff out the life of a posy. Poignant and beautiful poem.

Andrew John August 1, 2023 at 2:43 AM Oh, lawnmowers (and the like). Horrible things! Nicely put here, Trisha. We see this murder so very often on the lawns around the flats/apartments I live in here in Wales.
