The Tiny Fragile Flower

I want to hold the little wonder

I want to feel the little thunder


Of the strength in the pedicel

Of the union in the receptacle 

Of the calm in the pistil 

Of the adventure in the stamen 

Of the smooth flow in the sepal 

Of the endless beauty in the petal


I want to learn of the tubule wonder

I want to learn from the weak thunder

Such simple beauty, so complex a construction every last bit essential. I love flowers and colour and floral scent and marvel at the diversity of nature. Kind regards, Ian
