FLOWER POWER

FLOWER POWER

...So I said

To the flower

Let me pluck

You

And wear

You in

My hair

For your

Fragrance is 

Fair.

The flower

Swayed

A no

As the wind

Gently

Blew...

I crouched

Down

Not giving up

And I said

Come on

Now

Sway in my

Hair...

I will be

Kind

And treat 

You well

From you

I will not

Let fall

A single

Petal.

If looked

At me

The flower

Did

It appeared

To speak.

On one

Condition 

Alone

Shall I agree

To be worn.. 

J nodded 

For it to

Carry on 

Talking.

The condition 

Is this

That you shall

Not

Let

Me ever fade

Or grow

Old!

I was lost

In thought

For some

Time

Thinking

How I'd keep

The flower

Once in

My hair,

Alive...

After much 

Pondering 

I decided

The flower

Was right!

I got up

And slowly 

Walked

Away

Watching the bloom

Say

Goodbye

With a breezy

Wave!
