what had got into it
the day seemed destined
to be a good day every bit
ordinarily outlined
but it drooped aimlessly
not wanting to be involved
unduly unaffected but selfishly
wanting to resolve
life's hopes and endeavors
from a subdued position
it set about to be devoured
when much concerned
with thoughts to avoid wasting
life's blessings accorded to a flower
subject to the weakness of wilting
a natural debilitating process sans water
but there is water
why? it is a wonder!

Yeah, sometime we too expect a good day, but then it turns out to be sour:(
ReplyDeleteEven with what we need, the day can turn out to be a crappy one.
ReplyDeleteWhat started out with so much hope...
ReplyDeleteI like how you describe the flower's emotions and perspective in this one, Hank.
ReplyDeleteI wonder too... the water where is that, all the flowers are drooping.

Great use of the visual metaphor, Hank.
This a fun read, Hank. I like the way your writer "gives in" but "selfishly

Hi Hank! you have given me pause for thought with this one. Happy Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteYou went my way this write, Hank. We both went a little deep. I enjoyed it.
