Red Rose

She planted me as a new life,

Gave me water twice,

When I come outside the soil,

She taught me not to be spoil

I make new friends everyday,

They came and we play,

I bend toward bugs,

To welcome them or hugs,

I smiles to the butterflies,

To pick some pollen and than fly

I gossips with the bee,

To take some nectar and make honey,

I tells to the worms,

Please don’t make me harm,

Now I am scared, going to be dead,

Why she plucked me? even I am red,

She cared for me more,

Daily gave me water for sure,

Talk to me like her own child,

Then why she is so wild,

I can’t bare her cruel love,

Better she never come close,

Never made a conversation,

If she taken me for her decoration,

Now I am lifeless just a piece of hair bun,

Why you love me, if you only need me to make my fun.

I born with them and shed with them,

Let me to be with my leaves, thorns and stem…

The poetic lamentation in first person by the flower is touching. The phrase ‘cruel love’ is apt. The end-of- line rhyme scheme adds to the overall enjoyment. The rhetorical question ‘ why she plucked me ?’ painfully touches a chord, doesn’t it? Very good.

Beautiful poem Hema.
It is not a story of flower only. Each and every line touches the heart deeply.
