Withered

And there the withered weed does lie--
shunned by each heartless passerby--
whilst glancing t'ward rosebeds nearby.




Please tell me what you think

    so wistful

    That last line is so full of wishing,
    I don't know if I'll ever look at a plant the same again.

    This is an amazing poem! I love the brevity of your lines and the easy rhythm that you have created - very poignant and although I would love to read more of this style (and perhaps on this particular weed) I think it feels beautifully complete in itself - like the sigh of acceptance brilliant!

    Keep writing
