Flowers
They ask me
why I like flowers
at first
I didn't know the answer
until I saw
that flowers had flaws,
too
yet still
everyone thought
they were beautfiul.

Just like flowers, we all have our imperfections, but they contribute to our uniqueness. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful piece! 🌸✨💖
@lthelonewolf21 This is so sweet! It’s a lovely reminder that flaws don’t take away from beauty—flowers prove that every day. 🌸

A really lovely poem. So reflective and gentle, and such a joy inspiring theme.
I really liked how each stanza's syllabic length gradually increases after the preceding, as it gives the feel of an idea flourishing and coalescing as it is contemplated. Though it's structure is very unlike a haiku, it's feel and themes remind me of many that I have read; the use of nature to express a a simple idea that has wider meaning. Very, very beautiful.
