Petals closed in sleep
Winter winds over the ground
Flowers hibernate
Waiting for spring sun
To awaken sleeping eyes
Climb up through the ground
Say hello to warmth
Say hello to new sunshine
Say goodbye winter
Flower waiting sleeps
To awaken in the spring
This is from a dVerse prompt: So today, I’d like you to pen us a poem that includes some form of the word FLOWER. Pen us a poem of precisely 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word flower. I hope you enjoy! 😊

This climbing up through the ground, awakening to spring- it has a deep resonance, as an ancient myth of death and rebirth, seasonal cycles. I was reminded of the tale of Persephone and Demeter.

Thank you so much! Great that I can bring to mind one of the classics. The cycling of the seasons and the new birth of spring have always had a bit of death and life to them.

I am sorry to say, sir, this does not resonate with me. Why should a being be seasonal?
