Thousand scents on my nose
Hyacinth, lily, magnolia and the rose
Bending and breaking
All flowers are mending
Veering into something
Like a virgin blooming
Petals unfold to existence
Death has its distance
Drought in Sahara
Like thirst in Arabia
Africa has a dearth
All the flowers are not in the desert

All flowers are mending – a good line I like the ideas in this one
thanks Ian for liking that line. I am still thrilled when I received comments from you 🙂
Why did you pick the countries, in your poem? Out of interest.
it was random, didn’t have time to edit or revised it but thanks for the candid observation 🙂
so very true.
it is indeed! 🙂 thanks for still reading my poetry! 🙂
thanks for following purposeful pruning. we hope to include more poetry too, but it seems you are more prolific in that regard. enjoying what i see and hoping to see more.
