Flower Flower on my window sill Your beauty astounds me I wish I could be your center So your beauty would surround me Or the minerals in your soil To promote your growth without toil Saving moisture for your petals to sip Sun high in the sky, ladle you can dip Or the roots that hold you firm to the ground So earths weather can't toss you around But free you to sing your songs For you know right where you belong Or the stem that holds your head up high Beauty to shine for all the sky Fearless and knowing your held up strong With love from your stem you can depend on Springs sun would be nice, not to hot or to cold As a spotlight on your beauty for all to behold All these things I wish I could be For there the very things you are to me by Connie |

Zinsser~ I love flowers ... and you've done this flowering poetic justice. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Connie...I think that the world would be a better place if there were more flowers on mens' desks and more poems like this. Lovely. Bob |

Marge: I consider it an honor comming from you Thanks Sunshine: I cant begin to have the words to really thank u from my heart... Interloper: Flowerful... I love it LOL Bob: Thank You kind sir.. To All: This is really special to me, I mean, anyone reading something that I have written. All my life I've had this stuff in my head or would write for whatever reason and it would come out in poem form. Until about 8 months ago.... I never told anyone and threw it all away... I thought everyone thought like that...and it seemed so private... So to let other see (parts of me) and someone even likes it is...... Well you know Thank You |

A delicate expression you have here, Connie. When one is an aesthete and sensitive to all things beautiful, hedonism takes on another form -- one of positivity. So what kind of flower are you picturing? -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Zinsser, you have written a lovely poem. I hope you can remember all the ones you threw away and get them in here for us to enjoy. I think you are a beautiful flower, ME |

I think many of us know how it feels to long to be even a small part of something beautiful - you've written that longing well in a lovely poem. |
