A touching remark
Although never forgotten
Is missed when unsaid

There was no other way to describe her
Rather pitiful, was what came to mind
A lady should never be locked out
Gentlemen must learn to be kind
Every day, no words would be spoken
Destitute, bewildered and broken
You have to wonder how this can occur
She held onto the rose, so tightly
Painfully feeling the thorns
Everything she knew, was gone
Leaving her sad, and forlorn
Love was all that she wished for
Even her harlequin heart knew why
Desperately seeking happiness
Melancholic, all she did was cry
I tried to comfort her, offered my hand
She refused me, so sad to see
Every bit the lost soul, as she sat and waited
Reminded me only of me
Yearning, no longer to be, a forgotten, sweet tragedy

Respect
The part of ourselves
We give
A generous portion
Of our souls
A piece of life
Never surrendered
Haphazardly
An appreciation
Of the humanity
Within ourselves
Something
We always need
To pass along
Respect

If I were a plant, what would I be?
Perhaps not a plant, maybe a tree?
One that grows tall, since I’m really short
Then I can build, a neat little fort
Climb in my house, stationed up high
Breathe in the air, watch the clouds drifting by
Listen, as the birdies, sing in their nests
Yes, this is the place I would love best
But, wait, as a plant, I could grow flowers
People would care for me, hours and hours
Give me a clipping, tame back my roots
Always making sure I look very cute
Until, at last, I am blossoming full
Then out come the scissors, and I feel the pull
Snip, snip, snip, my blooms are all gone
Not exactly my idea of a beauty salon
So what should I be?
A plant or a tree?
I think perhaps
I just like being me
Author’s note: This poem was inspired by a search term that brought them to my blog: “dorinda plant”. It kind of grew on me, oh, bad pun, sorry, anyway, I hope you enjoyed! 🙂
