Listen to poem:
So much left out.
What begun undone.
Gagged germination 
   withered the wine.
Despite despised
  by measly meager merely.

Withered as time passed
soon young and green sprouts
leaves live here freshen us up
any sizes any colors
follow the cycle of life.

a tree may stand strong
its top can kiss the skies
the stem too big to image
but down there unseen
its roots’ ends are withered

No one cared about poor Jack
cut and carved from front to back

Rose
Unfolds
Revealing
Withered petals
Within inner core

Water with love
The flower 
Known as

He sought revenge through fire
Over a withered mortal’s true path.
Patience slithered in his desire
To not avenge, but to bring wrath.

the tree, bare
in mid-summer
branches withered
bark peeling
a condemned sigh
rustled through
her brittle leaves
I had to look away

Premium Member Foreboding

Dead leaves in a pond...
a withered silence surrounds...
winter approaches.
Melancholy stirs within...
storm cloud mirrors somber mood.

A wild flower child
Was so careless for short while.
Then so suddenly
Something broke her lovely smile;
Withered through a fate so vile.

The Watcher

Languid eyes surf the horizon     

Bites hot the suntanned light

Drowning the parched azure ocean

Beyond the withered shore

The Melancholy Spring

The white jasmine is blooming,          
Withered was the yellow wintersweet          
Time walks in weald,         
 Is it empty in her heart?

Premium Member A withered flower

She lost her husband suddenly.
Her heart simply stopped and dried up.
She'd never be the same.

What explains Trumpenstein’s command
That the U.S. borders expand?
His withered small shaft
Needs a bigger graft  
Of mastodon parts from Greenland

Sighs and tears escaped
From an enamored couple
When both realized
Love had withered forever 
Lacking of fertilizers

The chill’ed land sleeps
Grass withered dried and flaxen
Life wisely cautious
Awaits the vernal signal
Then will it stir and flourish

Torned to a millions pieces many times,
Like a soldier in Vietnam fought with toes and nails,
Now my soul have retreated,
My fighting spirit have withered

Premium Member withered Moon

a simple Rose, 
so fragrant bloom
each petal glows,
lights up the room

then veils our view,
our withered Moon
those born anew,
are withered soon
