Blossomed solitary, a flower unseen
Colors missed; hues ignored
Fragrances ne\'er sniffed
Scattered into emptiness
By planters \'n florists
Makers unmaking their creatures
Leaving them derelict
Forlorn in a floral paradise
Alone inside a packed bouquet
Kindred flowers, strangers by design
Precious little to share
Save for empty stares
