Petunia

spilleronsheet

Risen were the waves

Risen were the praise

those days

when petunia bloomed 

strangling up the balcony 

the feathers played 

chirps heard from the lanes 

 

the petunia bloomed 

hanging up behind the curtains straight 

but one day 

It all ended 

 

the bloom withered away 

gone were the praise 

trampled and thrown out on same lanes 

the fallen petals of petunia 

Swept across the lanes

      Petunia is a beautiful flower with contradictory symbolism. Resentment and anger gone away with the wind. So it all peace that prevails. So let the peace and soothing sunshine give rise to beautiful Sunflower in our lives !! Nice one Spiller.. !!

        Sunflower indeed is a beautiful flower
        I was just for a change embracing the wildness of petunia
        Thanks a lot dear Vamsi
        I shall surely smile like a sunflower

          A lovely poem about a lovely flower. We have petunias growing here, of many colours usually sold in hanging pots.

          • spilleronsheet

            Yes, they are very lovely and colourful like a honeysuckle

            Good words spilleronsheet but those blooms will return.

              I hope they do
              I hope the harsh winter doesn’t tamper it’s hope to bloom

                tinged with sadness ... but this clearly demonstrates your increasing confidence as a fine poet and your versatility ... Neville x

                  Thank you so much
                  It feels so good to be complemented
                  And to grow as a poet
                  I guess it’s not my growth alone
                  It’s the friends at MPS who nurtured me
                  Thank you so much dear Neville
