Poem - Petal Form

[kokopelle]

The poem “Petal Form” is about celebrating the self via flowers.


Petal Form

Flower put into the hair
or pinned to the blessed lapel
this statement of what’s within
displayed in a florist swish

splash of pink to compliment
knowing wink of the eye
stated by the petal form
confirmation if there was doubt

red pronouncement as alternate
blossom fastened to affirm
form fitting to the heart
identifying a florid bent

once a symbol of love bestowed
now the embraced as an affect
reverence for what’s inside
flower applied to the hair.
