~Hybrid

~ All together

~Hybrid

 

Living next to my neighbors,

Colored by their beauty

Some are Hybrid,

Others, are pure bloods

Together we will cure and color

The world full of racism

The assumptions

And the no goods,

To be gone forever

You’re a wonderful hybrid

Beautiful Dahlia flower

Even as your colored buddy is...

So ray within your beautiful vase

And be colorful these days

Where I shall embrace

You totally,

As we live together

Thank you Carl, I appreciate your review :)))

I really like the metaphor use with flowers. Implying that yes we are all the same. We all need the sun and water to live but in the end we are all just beautiful flowers sharing the same soil. ^^ Brilliantly done.

Thank you so much my dear, for we are share the soil indeed... wonderfully worded by you -x-

I'm captivated by the way you paint and prepare your canvas ( setting ) and choose your palette. Intrigue with this beautiful, colorful mixture and arrays of flowers and penned these words. A Hybrid bokay of " assorted" flowers like a mixed race.
I think you have captured something and explained something in a very poignant way...Pure blood and Pure Breed are not always attractive and needless to say colorful. Hybrid Flowers much like different people from different race and creed adds focal points or in landscaping terms....Curve appeal ...
There's beauty not boredom in " Diversity " ... Another brilliant write my friend Elisa !

Lovely one, I can't thank you enough for what you do for me, while I lack in time, mood, presence, all on WC lately. Your words bring me joy of life, again....

You put the words of the worlds true reaction directly in a way that is powerful but raw... Togetherness is a powerful thing and the world must try to work together you did a powerful job on this one

I was just speaking about this last night, about being biracial. I grew up in a very accepting family, and honestly when I heard about biracial racism I couldn't fathom a reason for the hate . . . Comparing those who come from two different worlds to flowers is a beautiful way to represent such an ugly part of our world, but also a way to maybe point out the hypocritical-ness of it since humans are always mixing genes of other species to better them.

Thank you ST for your thoughts, my intention was (as a mix or an hybrid myself) and my love for other cultures, to live together, as equals. Always and ever, without racism, and with just a little bit more of understanding, and love. Thank you for your words x

I totally love this poem! its exactly how I feel about the mixed blood people, who are free from the darkness of racism...Thsi are verses of love and peace, the analogue with the beautiful colorful flowers in a vase is great! (now one of my favorite poems!)

You speak volumes here about how the world should be. I think the Dahlia flower symbol says much. Many hybrids of flower are created by certain traits together and I see that in many of my students, which of are both European and Native American descent. Powerful work.

Thank you so much, yes, so true... we all live together, and we should forever... :)
