Foliage Poem by Deborah J Richard

Mysterious, complex,
Components, secret, hidden from view,
Yet vibrant and outlandish;
Possessing many hues.

A juxtaposition of delicate curves and soft;
With firm resilience, strength,
In rhythm, we support and reach;
Evolve, unfold to greatest lengths.

An intricacy, a gentleness,
A structure so very fine
Simultaneously displaying and blending in;
A blur, sometimes, of lines.

Through all the years and history,
Though many men have tried
We are permanent and vital;
We are women who cannot be denied.
