its harder to speak than to yell.
and harder to yell than to.....think.
but.
as the slumber passes, and the daisies awake.
i feel as if i could talk to you.
just talk.
it might not be a real conversation.
because i might jut blink. and the time i felt i could talk.
would have dashed away from me.

in the night, the stars form into flowers.
others see constellations, or space stations.
but i am unique. i see picturesque flowers bathing in the night glow.
iris. rose. both in bloom. blossoming from the roots of the starry night.
it is really easy to know.
just harder to
speak.
speak even if your voice shakes.

THERE WAS A LITTLE BOY IN LONDON
WHO WAS VISITING THE QUEEN
A POSY HE WAS GIVING
BUT HIS TANTRUM WAS THE SCENE


AS A YOUNG CHILD
WHAT COULD YOU DO
WHEN THE QUEEN IS APPROACHING
AND WILL SAY HELLO TO YOU
A YOUNG BOY WAS GOING TO GIVE A POSY OF FLOWERS TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN BUT A TANTRUM FOLLOWED.

One little posy
Stood still in place
Afraid of the pain
All these thorns could inflict

One little posy
Grew tired and weak
It realized its doom
And gave up so soon

One little posy
Got choked up by thorns
In a bush of roses
Where it did not belong

— The End —
