Poem: Mexican Petunias


Mexican Petunias
 
by Joanne Faries
 

crumpled brown stalks

faltered after freeze

ice smothered, they collapsed

no memory of purple posies

withered bleak garden

 wind rustled

hunkered  slumber

  2. Crap. You really know how to depress a gal, dontcha? Just kidding. Good job.

    Hope you have a super weekend.
