a poem
by Sage
Lovely red flower, so pretty
Its petals shine under the sunlight
And its beauty mesmerizes you
As the water falls from your container
Gentle red flower, so soft
You place it in its favourite spot
Where the sun feeds it
And it remains in peace as you watch it
Tall red flower, so heavy
It bends over, about to break
But you support it with a cage and stakes
And it remains upright afterward
Lonely red flower, so gloomy
It watches you leave, holding back tears
As you leave in the distance,
the lovely red flower's last petal falls onto the ground
