                                    Hollow spirit
                                    hollow mind
                             rotting in a retched
                         twisting, turning void
                     of
p  r  o  p  a  g  a  n  d  a
                   that dampens the soul
and
           Br  ea  ks
     the mind.

Soon it will be all wrapped up
and
          packaged in a lovely arrangement
of flowers.             Yes,
sweet smelling              blue, yellow,
red, black and gray flowers

covering up               the sadness.

        Sadness, it
                        hides beneath the petals
seeping,
dripping, flooding
into the
        soil.  It slowly pulls the
petals off till,
flowers turn clear,               and brown and
        decay back
                                   into the ground.

Effigy remind me never to express my love to anyone with flowers... excellent poem, nothing expresses love like decaying flowers.

My view stretches out from the fence to the wall No words could explain, no actions determine Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall:Joy

Ahh, I *get* it. It's both a FLOWER Arrangement *AND* and arrangement with Winter to give Winter it's due. Very nice. I loved the structure, too.
