from earliest bud
to drop of the last petal
carpe diem
brave young buds
breakthrough the soil
reach for the sun
petals push outward
open wide and wonderful
commune with bees and bugs
aged petals curl
tight as they hold their
power inward
naked stem
remembers its earliest
days but forgets yesterday
National Poetry Writing Month #NaPoWriMo challenge today gave the option to follow the example of another poet and write in the style of proverbs or aphorisms.
I followed the latter, thinking of the Latin aphorism: seize the day.
Carpe that Diem, baby...
