Pink tulip,
rather common place;
overlooked in favor
of sunflower’s beaming face;
lily’s stately stature;
the unblemished youth of shasta daisy.
Her fervent wish,
to be adored, romanced;
picked for her own
noteworthy qualities;
delicate pale, blushing skin;
strength of stem;
steadfast bloom.
She seeks spiritual illumination;
yearning for eyes to see
petals’ translucent shimmer;
dignity’s distinctive glow.
Notice the sway of her gait,
how she navigates the breeze;
a marvel of femininity.
No painted lady;
unadorned, pure of heart;
grace personified;
she lingers patiently.
Aching to fulfill her destiny;
praying not to whither in her spot,
waiting to take her rightful place;
perhaps, clasped in a bride’s hands;
as a get well bouquet's healing kiss;
or conveying words left unspoken
by a love struck beau.
Honored, she would be,
to hold such esteemed status,
making a difference;
assuming her fate so wondrously.
Remember the pink tulip,
long after her story is told.
She has hope, forbearance and pride;
yet, remains unaffected
by the sorrows of her youth;
the sting of rejection;
the shallowness of ignorance.

duddle146over 17 years agoA flower among flowers that somehow desires to persevere to take her rightful place. Something very beautiful about this rendering. Rich images abound!

lostandfounderover 19 years agoI love tulips.. so much more understated than most flowers. The poem does an admiraible job of reaching for that, but just misses by being a little preachy. (Just a tiny, tiny bit) It's still a lovely poem though.
