This is a Shakespearean sonnet about flowers. |
| Oh what of these fresh flowers we have here? A petal here, a petal there, you see. Why do they cower from me, what's to fear? They are just as gentle as they could be. Here, little petal. There, little petal. I sing like a little child in my mind. We see a Devil. Sun's on the meadow. It would help me if I could be more kind. Running through the fields, I do contemplate, Ask myself, Where have all the flowers gone? Without a world of growth to regulate. I am a winner, but what have I won? It's not worth it to leave the earth unfed. I will live my life for this flowerbed. |
