Wallflowers

Folder: 
Emotions

 

Time rides
but on wings of butterflies,
hardly noticeable
as they flit by…

from flower to flower.
underscoring the fragrant,
outlining the beautiful.

Yarrows to daylilies.
Lavender to pansies.
Goldenrods to marigolds.


supposedly impartial yet,
seemingly bestowing
just a little more
upon those most pleasing.

the unchosen only watch
with bitter, hungry eyes
that go unnoticed, unslaked
and unvisited.

For at least two thousand

For at least two thousand years, so many poets have written bucolic poems, or poems about an imagine garden or wildflower meadow, or arbor.  I don't think I have ever read one poem that dealt with the flowers that were not chosen by the butterfly, or the bee.  You have written a real original, here, and I applaud your accomplishment.
