Notes About The Poem

The Lonely Weed Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Craig Cornish Written 3/18/2026

THE LONELY WEED

Under the shadow of the drifting lull
Shapeless shroud, the bright yellow sun
Is an infusion of joy.
It lies in the warm gray sidewalk scene,
Gazing at the sky, still and serene,
Listening to and watching whispering shadows
Move into the heartbeat of the city.
As they ignore its smile, with a flicker of spark
And the dust of the world.
Never calm, but constantly moving,
Sunset closes the day with inviting twilight.
Effortlessly dissolving the view of the dark blue night,
The Floret early spring nectar glides on the wind.
Over weeds that have sprung up.

I enjoyed reading your wonderful "The Lonely Weed" write. Many pretty flowers are really just weeds. "Good Luck" I also did this contest. Have a blessed day writing away............
