Poem for Carry On Tuesday


Carry on Tuesday posts: Our prompt this week is a quotation from John Lennon: Love is the flower you've got to let grow.




Love is the Flower

tall and gangly
tattered at the crest
promising nothing
it sticks around

stays in place
a wild stalk
stalwart and true
proud as the rose

blossoms thrust forth
a summer surprise
love is the flower
you've got to let grow

love can grow in the right circumstances, too. love the strong images at play here. hope all is well. have a great day.

From something tall and gangly to love itself--a blossom and a blossoming. What a great piece.

Feed it well and it will grow strong.

soft and pleasant like a meandering stream. the poem and the art is beyond my words to describe, except that I enjoy it very much
