The Flowers

The flowers on the windowsill

Are dropping

Just a little

The pansies and daisies

Are browning and curling at the edges.

Two pink petals, periphery brown

And dying.

Separated from the rest, lying

On the windowsill.

Catching the gilt light,

Filtering in. Slivered across.

In golden bars

Causing petite shadows

Across the windowsill

I wonder if it is true what they say,

That daises are truer than passionflowers,

I will wait,

Wait and ask you.

Author notes

This is a really simple poem, so bring your own meanings!!! The poem started of as the first and main stanza after I drafted something out for a contest, but couldn't decide which flowers to use (I also have a poem about passionflowers). The endign came from a quote from a book I'm reading, at it seemed so odd that it was relevent to something I was writing that I had to include it!! Sorry for going on lol!!!

This was most lovely. Who is more true,you will wait and ask..I thought that was brillant.I dont think this was simple at all, but packed with a wonderful message..though something may not look as great as the rest,their hearts may be truer and stand the test--Great job!-fair
