I loved this Uriah.. It had depth and gave us a glimpse of that lonely poet that can get inspired from the beauty of a flower when everything else seems to be emotionless. HBH

This is nice, Uriah, but sounds lonely. 'speechless in her small pot' made me smile. Skye

Um, yes, well, um...I think I should give up my pen. Another masterpiece here, and it's making me very jealous, Uriah, sweet one.

Excellent! the modern concrete world, it's very rare to find a fragrant flower, all mixed up with poisonous artificial fertilizer.
