Flower

Beauty under the sun

It dances with the wind and rain

And brings feeling of serenity

Blossom

SPINE

Prickle

It makes deep cuts

That make one cry in vain

Protected  beauty in its own

Spine

Very nice again, one day when I have a lot of free time, I am going to try out these types of poetry.

Thank you, Eddie. I know you're busy with your book and making poems is just a sort of your "recess" time in it.
God bless!

[Eddie Davis]

Thanks, you are putting these neat new types of poems out faster than I can read them. Quite impressive. If I was to try this, my brain would probably explode from the effort.

[Dhaye]

LOL. I enjoy exploring and learning new things about poetry. I will try to make at least 2 samples of each form when I am in the mood to write again.

Sis, you know I can never resist a botanical poem!

We blossoms have to protect ourselves from the elements and from predators.

[Dhaye]

Yes, you're right. Thanks a lot, sis.
