Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

White Mum

I bought a white mum plant last spring
It wilted quickly, but the plant stayed alive
I put it in the ground hoping to bring,
Life back again, so it would survive

Now it is November, the air is cold
But it is blooming white flowers brightening each day
It is strong, alive, persistent and bold
This white mum highlights my path on my way

Carolyn Devonshire November 17, 2020 at 9:52 AM Your "white mum" is an excellent metaphor for the human spirit. It may seem wilted at times, but Mother Earth provides the nourishment to bring back the flowers. This is an extraordinary poem, Heidi, and it's a fave for me. Hugs, carolyn Heidi Sands November 17, 2020 at 11:26 AM Thank you so much Carolyn. I like your feedback today and thank you for the Fave :)
