Poetry prompt, to write a poem about my favorite flower without using its name.


Lotus


Many consider you the most beautiful plant in the world

And yet you'll only grow in mud

There's a powerful metaphor there

A symbol often used by Buddhists and Hindus

With a meaning powerful enough for me to get in permanently on my arm

A reminder that often the greatest beauty only comes from mud and difficulty.
