Gervic's Poetic Explorations

Flowers and Weeds

Flow'rs
Bloom to
Flaunt its bright
Elegance to
Entice butterflies
And enrapture the bees.
While both tenderly tickle
and siphon its sweetened pollen,
Flowers wave, smile benevolently
To greet passersby a glorious day.
While on the nook 'neath each vibrant petal
Rest the plants that vie and entangle,
They strangle each bloom with the hopes
That they too could glance upon
The brilliant light of sun.
Whilst they are dreaming,
Gardeners pluck
Slowly the
Dreaming
Weeds
