Inspired by Ducky's uncommon flower...c/c?

The scent of flower, uncommon

to the land on which I fed

enticed me to graze further

and I ate 'till the flower bled

and in my mindless hunger

I extinguished with lowing haste

the scent of the bloom that drew me

a flower of uncommon taste

Update:

an adjustment to correct meter...

The scent of flower, uncommon

to the land on which I fed

enticed me to graze even further

and I ate 'till the flower bled

and in my mindless hunger

I extinguished with lowing haste

the scent of the bloom that drew me

a flower of uncommon taste

    Oo

    Yet nature is so damned sneaky

    And - My GOD - the wily will of weeds

    Though ruin is what I stood accused of...

    I pooped out a hundred seeds

    Oh I haven't been able to taste the poetry on here for a couple days and I was so very hungry and now after reading this I am so very satisfied. Truly beautiful!

    WalaikumAssalaam Warahmatullah Wabarakatahu you're in my dua's sis, purely carry on Insha'Allah and don't provide up. i be attentive to it fairly is annoying yet you, however the try of endurance is annoying however the winner is one that endures by using it patiently. purely mirror we are able to be rewarded Insha'Allah Allah (the main extreme) is conscious what we are experiencing and could Insha'Allah furnish us relief. ((Hugs)) Love you x

    Love can be bled dry by an appetite. Liked the metaphor.

    So succinct sin, so sadly beautiful, I very much thought of it on two levels, very real in context aand

    very moving as a timely metaphor. Great job this.

  • Very nice right, Sin

    I have not seen a lot of your poetry lately nor Ducky's

    today I have not even been on line much

    so was glad to have seen this.

    thank you for sharing it with all of us

    My first reaction: O o my!

    My next: I'm happy for you both.

    but wait: what is with "uncommon"

    something to do with "troth"?
