I picked these flowers
Found growing in a ditch
The optimism in muck
Made me believe
In their majic
Mangled dreams
They might mend
Cure careless words
Find the path to your
heart
before they wilt
Or you give up
In a list

Yes
This is lovely, the rose is fed with ordure, its beauty to produce. Material/Spiritual blend, well done. -
First of all, let me thank you for your entry into my contest. I appreciate the time & effort that you spent on your poem immensely, because I completely recognize & understand the symptoms as being my own, as well. lol
Also, please let me apologize & ask for your understanding this somewhat generic comment; I have a migraine & need to get this contest judged so I can get to bed. I don't have a lot of time or energy to be online these days. Which is partly why I'm commenting at 3 am.
This is the part that made me think the most; it was quite poignant & a little melancholic, too:
"Mangled dreams
They might mend
Cure careless words
Find the path to your
heart
before they wilt
Or you give up"
I thank you sincerely for sharing this part of your Self with the rest of us lost, angelic souls...Keep writing...This world needs all the Poets & Scribes it can hold. Especially now.
Be good to yourself & those around you; it really does matter, as you know.
