I am put on the table
In the corner of your room
I smile my flowers
In different colors.

'I smile my flowers In different colors' this line I especially liked and will contemplate for awhile in thought.
Thank you for reading my poem, When Innocence Is Crushed, which runs with the same insight.
A profound poem well crafted imbued with meaningful message, embellished with great metaphors and images. A marvelous poem that shows empathy.
In every fiber of this poem, sadness lurks. A great depiction on how someone is unfairly treated. The closure lines speak of the said treatment.
A poem of great depth. There is subtlety in the manner this wonderful poem was crafted yet it created a great impact in the heart and mind of a reader.
Wow beautifully touching and beautifully heart felt! .. Ever so moving! .. Definite 5 Stars! ..++++++

A rare collection of sorrowful moments and the total dedication of a flower, so beautifully presented here in this poem. The poem gives a tragic touch as you go through the ending lines. Thanks for the sharing of the lovely poem. Subhas

Hi Susan Williams. Love your words as always.Thank you for your kind words.
The flowers were plucked from the loving branches where at they were designed to attract the insects by their colors and fragrance, to pass a meaningful life for producing seeds and fruits. When they were plucked and put in a flower pot they passed a meaningless life. No doubt they decorated the table but when turned pale were thrown in the dust bin. A graet poem about life of the flowers.
Thank you Akhtar Jawadji for your kind appreciation.I fully agree with what you say about the flowers in a flower pot passing a meaningless life as they are denied their original purpose for which they were born..
A very good write a on the deeper significance of what we do routinely and casually. Very touching indeed. If you have time, please read my poem on a similar theme Rootless In A Vase.
Thank you Madathil Rajendran Nairji.I have read your wonderful poem and left my comments there.It is a coincidence that your poem and my poem appeared almost in same time.A poet sees and feels the pains that are not apparently visible.
Thought provoking write. Life though not separate from flower vase, Used and to be thrown into dust bin tomorrow. Loved reading it.
A great metaphoric write. Deeply insightful and creative. Indeed, every object around us has something to say about life. A vase is nothing without the flowers...but flowers wither away with the passage of time. You have masterfully captured the transitory nature of life and beauty through this thoughtful write. Kudos. A big 10.
Thank you Nosheen for your great comment.Your words are always appreciated.
Bharati, , Thanks for the vase! ! ! I shall cherish it FOREVER! ! ! The flowers I plan to toss in the dust bin after your next visit. Please replace them with plasitc ones, as I'm allergic to 'live' ones. thanks. bri : )
