Untitled Poem

Once upon a time,

Nasturtium the vibrant melody 

Created to lend defence sublime

Eternally grateful garnish, through fidelity

Ugly assassins reave her of youth 

Perrish’s along with the pencil

One who’s of the same vein truth No one espy’s the pure mind then-still,

All dry from plants that thirst for ease

Time replenishes the pencils soil 

Its alone but freed from droughts seize 

Mighty pencil creates again, drinking wisdom toil 

Eventually unshackled from assassins and amiable peas

 

Poet’s note: 

Theme: always feeling the need to give something up for others growth/ benefit.

The poem is about a plant character created to sacrifice herself for others, expressing the poet’s feelings about how she always feels the need to help others. She wants to tell others to put yourself first sometimes to allow yourself to grow, hence the fact the poem is about plants.
