I held a flower in my hand, Its colors were alive and grand. I decide to crush out its worth, And give unto it a new birth. The flower is mangled in death, It has no beauty and no breath. If I could bring back the hour, I'd not dishonor the flower. ©July 30, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Well done! Your melancholy is loud and clear. You do sonnets very well. ~L |

It's said that when you like a flower, you just pluck it, but when you love a flower, you water it daily. Your poetry reminded me of same. ...just bein' Bluesy |
