BELLISSIMA

A Poem by EMMIE

So much color on that little flower

Morning sun rays gently waking its allure

The essence of love

Created by the Almighty

Nature's irresistible aroma

Fresh and joyful colors

Oh, what a sight to see!

That lovely little flower

Just laying there....

On a lonely grave

Beautiful! Your talent shows and grows! A bit of history...the practice of putting flowers on graves only goes back as far as the American Civil War when widows and sweethearts of fallen southern soldiers began placing them on the graves of lost husbands and loves. The northerners, noting this beautiful sentiment, took it back home with them after the war and the custom flourished across the country and the world.

Long time no see Emmie :) I don't think there is anything remotely wrong with dark twists...actually I think it's one of the fundamentals of poetry but I don't really know how to explain why...all I know is you caught me off guard with the ending but I was appreciative of it cuz that's simply life...flowers are beautiful but flowers die on a regular basis...such is the balance of life on Earth...this is much more profound than you might think :)
