Purple Hibiscus Turn Pale Yellow PoemA Poem by Samuel Segun Toluwalase
Not like many in the large garden
We had many good things, Goods flowers, sweet nectar that church birds always came sucking Our part of the large plot was sweet like honey And we blossomed despite the weedy journeys But not all things have a happy ending And not all pretty flowers will keep the birds sucking Things started to fall apart when my brother's branches grew too tall Indeed too tall that it made mad the apex Although our purple radiance amazed the entire patch Little did they know that our nectar was sourly unpleasant First, I lost a younger branch unborn And soon lost the apex too Our purple, now a colorless boo. © 2025 Samuel Segun Toluwalase |
