Lily my flower
Why have you left me?
I went off this morning
Leaving you there
Standing uncovered,
Your rosy-pink softness
Displaying your beauty
To all who might stare.
Lily my blossom
Whose scent was around me,
Heady, exotic,
Encased in your glow.
Flown-away Lily
Whatever has happened?
Beautiful Lily,
Where did you go?
Petals are withered.
Fallen down ground-ward.
I stare at your stalk
Standing solitary, - bare -.
Now who shall I talk to
On my balcony garden?
Who shall I admire, Lily,
Now you're not there?
Sweet poem, very well written. I enjoyed the rhyme scheme and the flow. Lovely write.
how a sweet dialouge with the pretty Lily! very interesting. I enjoyed reading it very and who don't love lilies :) good luck and take care sweet Fay
I think the rhyming flow was quicker/smoother in stanza's 1 & 2 than in 3, but who am I to talk? At it's root, this is a fine poem. The first stanza had me wondering if Lily was a person... ('pictures of lily' by the Who sprung to mind) . -chuck
