Poppy
Your presence surprised me Early one morning On my way to work There you were Solitary Proud Your back against the wall Scarlett petals blazing In the morning sun Triffid-like, Multiple heads of Unblossomed potential Surround you You defy convention Taking root between Pavement and wall Standing boldly erect A symbol Of survival
Beautiful ❤️
Your lovely poem triggered a slightly different one from me.
Yours is beautiful. Its just the Poppy you see, other conotations inevitably.
Hope it is ok
