A New Flower Comments

A lovely tribute to children who were left alone to survive. Now it wishes to be plucked To be part of a bouquet. Let someone make it part of a lovely arrangement. Or is it his fate to wither alone? To be perished upon the grave of the old! Will it live and die alone or will its wishes be fulfilled to be a part of bouquet. Concluding lines quite interesting.

The Gardner sleeping in the grave Left the plant alone.................having reread the poem and read your Poet's Notes [thanks], i now see the tie in, between a family lost through war and a child left an orphan and perhaps homeless. i tend to take wording literally, not symbolically, so the thought had not occurred to me before i read the Poet's Notes. to MyPoemList and eventually i plan to place it into my/our April 2017 showcase for PH poets. Thanks. bri :) favorite stanza: Now it wishes to be plucked To be part of a bouquet. Let someone make it part of a lovely arrangement. Or is it his fate to wither alone?

The despondency is well portrayed in this poem

It is a great tribute to the children of the world left alone through war and other calamaties. Thanks for sharing this.
