Flower Waiting

Background Image by yayang art and Middle Image by Amy from Pixabay Japanese characters Flower, Spring

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! 😊

Yes somewhere under the snow they are.

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.
