PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm the sort of person that blooms wherever she's planted.



Plant me in rich, dark soil,

full of minerals and ideas,

and I may just turn into a sun

flower

reaching up into the world,

full of happy yellow.



Or maybe, a sandy dune,

roots barely tethered,

and I'll become wispy grass in the sea wind

letting life bend me softly.



Then there was the time I was

all roots, in dark water,

reaching in every direction for the light,

until finally a still, white lotus broke the surface.



Sometimes, I find myself in some

small crack

where no one would think anything could grow

and then I sprout anyway,

resilient dandelion, dreaming

of the day it gets to be soft white

blowing free.



And then other times, I can be all leaves,

spreading to cover ground, protect tiny white flowers

shy, preferring the shade...

startled,

when I suddenly become a

strawberry.
