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

Andrew John Date: 8/1/2023 2:43:00 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. Login to Reply
