Notes About The Poem

Charlie's Super... Contest  ~  March 29, 2025

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Seedlings take new root when March winds blow
Cracks in sidewalks are where flowers grow
Extraordinary places, they bloom
Where one crushing foot could mean their doom

Doom comes to stems that once stood so tall
Bloom, now withered just like leaves in Fall
Grow with great strength, and bend in the wind
Blow good, it will. Do not be chagrined

Spring's wonderful season has arrived

There definitely is, Duke. Charlie's requirements needed some thought to accomplish. I hope I have. Thanks!

We see everything on earth repeat, comeback in one physical form or another...and yet we think ourselves simple vanish entirely, into some supernatural bliss.... Maybe more to learn, more to see? Lovely read, Lin; was enlightening.

Thanks for liking these lines, Joe. Kind of 'everything old is new again.'

You rose well to the challenge Lin, it's been a long time coming, had a mild frost this morning, winter doesn't want to let go. Tom

Still frosty... while it's been in the 70s and very pleasant here. Thanks for your thoughts on this one.

Lin, this is a really good poem.I like this. I can see a subliminal message here. Where a person that is endowed in poverty can seed and blossom under extreme conditions. Be good it will, and not be distressed with what others have.

Insightful, Connie. It could apply to someone in poverty, or someone who's suffered a setback and finds a way to get back up. Thank you.

It's definitely the 4 words that were a titch more of a challenge. I'm sure you'll create something perfect, perhaps not a poopy tail... I mean tale. Thanks, Jan.
