There is More Than One Flower

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

Couplet:
Hold firm, hold hope before you wilt
See a final seed carried in the silt

The bouquet screams in fear
Having found hidden in a drawer
A bag of potpourri

Haiku:
strict weather will school
nurseries of baby buds
born in greenhouses

Roses are red
There are other flowers too
But they aren’t important
Only roses for you

And self-raising
I thought
it was cute and clever
You said
You want to bake up

And his infamous
Flower power
Little did they know
This toxicologist
Could kill them with a single petal

The flower
Is but a mistress

Cause confusion

Cut you
Tie you
Put you
In a vase
Just
So I can
Watch you die
slowly
