As Magnolia Petals Drop Poem by Lillian Susan Thomas

As Magnolia Petals Drop

Rating: 3.1


I would not mind dying
If it could be as gentle
As magnolia petals drop
And turn from milk
To bronze to brown
In slow increments of shade,
But even slower lose their softness;
And as they stiffen,
Curl inward to themselves.

what wonderful imagery... slow gentle death....although I personally would prefer it to be like lightning! !
