Little seed under the earth,
I shall sing you a lullaby.
To grow sturdy and strong;
To be beautiful and bright.
Pestering weeds, disperse!
For this little one needs air!
Don't caress the delicate petals,
Or her end will be near.
I keep her in a clay pot,
With nutrients at her feet.
The curtains stay wide open,
To be aquatinted with the sun.
Hues of red and pink,
Tint the colorless, thin petals.
Like the blush of human skin
It's beautiful, and warm.
I take my little finger,
And place it under hers.
Little green leafs hold tight,
Never let go, never give up.
Spring rain falls silently,
Not to harm the young rosebud.
Water sinks into her stomach;
Her roots drink it up.
Butterflies of many kinds
Stop to say, "Hello!"
They leave a little present,
To snack on and enjoy.
Scents of sweet heaven,
Fills the air of my room.
Relaxation is it's natural effect,
I remember it when I'm gone.
Finally tall and angelic,
My grown-up flower stands.
No longer a little seedling.
Now she's mature and bloomed.

I came back to read. Since I use a scoring system to my judging, I must say I loved your poem and the way you took it through life's cycle. There are still misspelled words. Again, I thank you for your valiant effort and you really did write a beautiful poem!

Your poem is brimming with beautiful imagery and metaphors. I loved the way you took the seedling and watched it mature. I will be back To read again. Please edit by using spell check. I found several misspelled words. IT's very easy to do. YOur poem flowed smoothly. I loved each and every stanza. I will be back for a final read after you have spelled all your words correctly! Thank you for entering and best wishes.

I thought I had used the spell check...but on my computer it seems to not work well. I will use word perfect to spell check it! Thank you and sorry for the typos! :[

Wow, this one is good... I only have a comment. "Sterdy"? Did you mean "Sturdy"? Besides that, your words here are amazing. I don't give you three because of the typos.

Yes, sorry about that. I did mean 'sturdy'. I thought I used the spell check...but it didn't do anything I suppose. Thanks!
