Weep No More, Lady

There's no weeping for this flower 'though she's all dried, and plucked and lame-- for she has seen her finest hour. There's no weeping for this flower which has known the gentle shower. You've even known her lovely name. There's no weeping for this flower 'though she's all dried and plucked and lame. Written August 22, 2022 (Triolet After Famous Thomas Percy's Poem) For Joseph May's Triolet Contest 2nd Place Winner

This flower too had her good times and sunny days when she stood proud in the garden ! Everything, however beautiful or worthy it be, has to come to an end once. So weep no more ! Congratulations Carol on your great win !
