Drowning in Pink


That bloody

Rhododendron

In bloom

Again

Pink

Could of died

Years ago

Should have

After all

Considering

I suck the beauty out of...

 

Hearts Minds Souls

 

These are

Imaginary burials

Long gone love

Complete with

Epitaphs

Last bitter taste

Looks and glaring hurt

And words

Never silenced echoes

 

A fucking damn

Dam

That holds on

Breaks

Bursts

Blackens

 

Every time

That

Beautiful

Loved

Rhododendron

Blooms

 

Friday 4.28.17

 

Been a while, since I wrote one of these down.

We call them Azalea- just a little different from Rhodies. They don't like the heat down here.

 

When I was a kid there were abandoned homes out in the country that had giant Azalea bushes.

 

Old gardens gone wild are amazing. There was one I used to go see every spring that had massive growths of Azalea, Magnolia and  Iris.

 

I've got some of the Iris probably originally ordered from a seed catalog back in the late 1800s, maybe earlier. 

 

It's hardier than modern hybrids but not as flashy.

I quite liked theses lines as they brought back some clichéd moments of my life. A Heart wrenching poem for me. I have never used this kind of form before, but I quite liked how you presented it. Beautiful. In a sad kind of way. I might try one of these if you give me the details of this form.

 

That was really a beautiful poem driven with sadness and beauty of those pink flowers... :)

This is a powerful set of words, full of memory and portent.
