[hometext] => Prompt: Orange. A snapshot in my mother's flower shop. All of the flowers in the poem are found in orange.
[bodytext] => I knew all the flowers In my mother's shop by name And watched the way they would Fawn and saunter to be bought The hibiscuses were my least favorite With their delicate wave Holding themselves above the rest The roses were too open In their desire and passion So I ignored them as well The snapdragons were a paltry trick With their teasing winks Drawing attention from the customers in heaps The poppies weren't my favorite Though I enjoyed their sleepy smiles They killed too sneakily, too well The mums were all confused, Unsure if they should flatter or cry So they did both with a smile The day lilies held their roots In the heavens and so could only greet Before sunset, when they would close their eyes The tulips were much to much like the roses, Flaunting declarations of love and fire At any who passed The marigolds were my favorite, Drawing spirits to their scent and beauty, Customers flocked without even a wink from them [comments] => 1 [counter] => 67 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Syncoplesque [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
