The blood-red petals
beguiled the barren landscape
beacon of beauty
pollinates life sorrows
Bringing forth love’s healing blooms
Lots of B’s–makes it strong.
Yes. Bs for strength!
I like it Denise.

‘Pollinates life sorrows’ … I adore this line. Lovely poem, Denise. Hugs 💕🙂
Thank you, Harmony. I wish we could.
A gorgeous poem, Denise. Sometimes I wonder why Mother Nature created such a wide variety of flowers… surely to bring beauty to the world and balance out the sorrows. You captured that beautifully.
Yes, we need all that beauty to soak the sorrow up.
Denise, the alliteration of the “B” words really makes your poem sing. Beautiful! 💛
Thank you, Colleen. I have always loved using alliterations. Xo
I love all the work it is to read it aloud with the Bs and the Ps. Really had to pay attention! Brava!
Thank you, Luanne 🙂 It does sound different outloud.
Such a positive and uplifting poem, Denise!
