“The Language of Flowers”
Please use poetry to tell me the meaning of a flower that you adore or is endearing to you. Try to create a story/scene with it, if you can. I’ll go first as an example.
“Marigold”
On a path of stone
with a Marigold in hand.
I traverse a vibrant world,
a flourishing land.
Into the Garden of Eden
full of trees and flowers.
A paradise unlike any other,
blessed by Heaven’s powers.
It is there we meet,
under the boughs of the Tree.
The branches grasping, leaves shaking,
as if to embrace me.
Smiling as they approach,
and entwine my fragile soul,
The Marigold falls...
I can finally let go.
