Flower

Cynthia novotny 1984 (Wilmington de)



A beautiful flower
peacefully drinking life around
transcending beauty yet
rooted to the ground

reaching for the sun

applause mother earth
for her beautiful creation
this beautiful flower
never out of season

reaching for the sun
somehow I can't help
but think
the sun is reaching for it too
that flower is most defintely for you

    The thing to see here is, is this flower metaphorical or a real one? Has the flower been plucked or not?
    The beginning of the poem hangs on together. Towards the end the connected lines are not so unified as one might think.
    The caring feeling is to see in the poem.
