A lone flower peaks <br />Out over the city <br />From a tenement roof. <br />She is speechless <br />In her small pot <br />In the immense void <br />Of cold concrete and steel. <br />A solitary poet <br />Brought her there <br />To gaze upon <br />As he scribbles <br />Mad, translucent verse <br />Disconnected from sterile reality, <br />Preserving ancient poetic breath <br />And breeze of idyllic <br />Romantic past.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-solitary-poet/
