Pressed flowers, <br />Were blooming flowers, <br />Once upon a time, <br /> <br />Pressed flower's beauty, <br />Always stayed, <br />In my mind. <br /> <br /> <br />The petals fleshed out, <br />Only yesterday, <br />Turned into flatness today. <br /> <br /> <br />Flowered in dried-out form, <br />Spoke of their stories today. <br />They had so much to say. <br /> <br />Stories of bloom time flowers, <br />Stories of rapid rain showers. <br />Stories of sharing a garden, <br />And stories of wild abandon. <br /> <br /> <br />These pressed flowers knew everything<br /><br />Vera Sidhwa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pressed-flowers/
