Challenge
Cool name for a flowering plant: Love-Lies-Bleeding (a species of Amaranth). Pretty flower, too. Write a cool poem inspired by the name or a pretty poem inspired by the flower. A haiku or something brief...
Flowers Between Teeth
Purple passion prances in
turbulent beauty crimson blood.
echoes of heartbeats on moonlit pond,
dancing on bloody devil’s roof in
delicate threads of burgundy dew.
I stand alone where love lies bleeding,
digging out, clawing stiffly as voice
faintly echoes, flowers between teeth,
knowing that there is no guarantee of
forever.
