T Woodys Flower

the azure flower, a lone sentinel, 
stands tall amidst the scorched earth. 

the tornado's wild caress, 
a whirling dervish of destruction, 
unleashes its fury upon the field, 
devouring the vibrant blooms 
with reckless abandon. 

as the last petals are swept away, 
the azure flower remains, 
a frosty jewel, 
polished by the tempest's violent hand. 

it now dances, isolated, 
amidst the barren vastness, 
a wistful beauty sullied by the ravages of chaos. 

in this tragic solace, 
the azure flower finds a strange, 
elegiac beauty, 
a trophy to the brutal capriciousness 
of the universe's whims.

the canvas drained of hue,
except a drop of beau hue blue,
a little color in a bleak landscape.

question is will the bee tricks ever get to thrive,
or will this field be bereft of her flora forever?

Dear Beatrix, I always love seeing someone write about another poet, such as our Tommy! It's well written and has many submeanings, but then again, I can always be accused of reading way too far into things. Now, I am intrigued by your contest, and you and Tom have to let me know when you post so I can give my two cents. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
