Flowers… Life Lines by Sue Vincent
The beauty of flowers.
There were flowers.
Orchids pinned upon a mother’s breast,
All lace and diamonds.
Long black gloves
And painted lips,
As she left, laughing.
A child who watched
As the door closed.
*
There were flowers…
Yellow tulips,
Cellophane and ribbon
A girl who blushed
As the curtain fell
Upon the stage;
She cradled them,
A first bouquet.
*
There were flowers,
Roses and lilies
White, in hands and hair,
Their fragrance mingled
With frankincense,
A ghost of awe and wonder
Finding a home
In memory.
*
There were flowers…
Rainbow hued,
Everywhere.
Greeting a life newborn,
With love and welcome,
Lighting stark severity
As a babe cried.
*
There were flowers…
Daisy chains
Around his brow,
Crowning him with sunlight,
In laughter,
In simplicity,
In love.
*
There were flowers,
Three roses,
Red as life,
Placed in a cold hand,
One for each heart
Saying farewell.
Too long,
Too soon.

Three Things Challenge: #144
This is my first visit to The Three Things Challenge. Di at pensitivity101 said.”Everyday I’ll give you three words or things that will hopefully trigger your creativity.
No need to use them all if you don’t want to, simply read the prompt and see what comes to mind.”
Be patient with me this my first try so I played simple and I have gone with an Etheree
Guy
Liked to
Fly up high.
Loving to look
At the view from on
High, up in the blue sky
Watching his neighbours scurry
Around on the ground far below
That he was watching, they did not know.
Three o’clock it’s time to be home for tea.
Definitely a great read.
