Plants have different ways of propagation! Through bees, other insects and animals, wind and natural process, they propagate. Tumbleweed when it falls down is carried away by the wind and as it rolls over the sand, innumerable seeds are strewn all around. In congenial surroundings they germinate! Your wish to spread the seeds of your good action is beautifully summed up in these short lines. A very profound write!
Well don't go before your time Rose Marie! ! otherwise we all lose out on your superb and heart-felt poetry. A very nice and most revealing poem presenting facts i never knew. 10++ and I wish you well. Take care.
Very attractive poem. The rolling tumbleweed, seemingly dead, carries an infinite number of seeds or spores that would germinate once they reach the right environment. The very purpose of the ‘journey ‘ of the tumbleweed is this. Thus, though it may look dead, it is live, a million times alive than a living plant, living being.
search for immortality is in human DNA tumbleweed..a very rich poetic symbol for life beyond death......nice to ponder on
For this gem a 10+++++++ and much much more! AND...........toMyPOemsList
this is such a loveliest poem, but a heavy thought-provoking one, that provokes and how! Perhaps not everyone knows, this kind of plant can never die, as you described in this poem, defined in human thinking: it seems to die but the seeds continue to grow, perhaps they are driven by the wind to another continent they are driven to all nooks, and they continue growing................ true fascinating poetry! I have enjoyed time and again when I reread this Beauty
