"The flower that blooms in adversity, is the most rare and beautiful of all." -Disney's Mulan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She was like a flower,
Delicate and pretty.
The world was like a florist.
They pulled her for her beauty.
She was like a flower,
Temporary, and dependent.
The world was like a child,
They plucked her from her petals.
She was like a flower,
Once bright and beautiful.
When the world was done with her,
She wilted away.
The world mourned her loss,
Devastated and thoughtful.
They didn't understand what made her shrivel up.
They just moved on to the next flower.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was inspired earlier today by some other poetry about flowers, as well as the quote at the top from Mulan. Ultimately, I came up with this small story. I hope you enjoyed it, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
