BELLISSIMA

So much color on that little flower   

Morning sun rays gently waking its allure 

The essence of love

Created by the Almighty 

Nature's irresistible aroma 

Fresh and joyful colors 

Oh, what a sight to see! 

That lovely little flower

Just laying there....

                                                                                                                     On a lonely grave

Beautiful! Your talent shows and grows! A bit of history...the practice of putting flowers on graves only goes back as far as the American Civil War when widows and sweethearts of fallen southern soldiers began placing them on the graves of lost husbands and loves. The northerners, noting this beautiful sentiment, took it back home with them after the war and the custom flourished across the country and the world.

Wow, that's one piece of history I did not know. I learn something every day. Appreciate the history lesson lol

People have been placing coins on graves supposedly since the Trojan War. Nobody seems to agree just why but it's thought that fellow soldiers brought coins to the grave to pay Cheron, the ferryman on the river Styx for their fellow comrades passage into the underworld. History is fun!

Oooft, I wasn't expecting that last line, smacked me in the face. Still a lovey write with lots of emotion and lovely memories attached. Nice one.

Long time no see Emmie :) I don't think there is anything remotely wrong with dark twists...actually I think it's one of the fundamentals of poetry but I don't really know how to explain why...all I know is you caught me off guard with the ending but I was appreciative of it cuz that's simply life...flowers are beautiful but flowers die on a regular basis...such is the balance of life on Earth...this is much more profound than you might think :)

[EMMIE]

Ha, interesting point...thanks a lot!

[kublakhan27]
