plastic attributes

plastic attributes

 

 

tulips bursting through the white blanket

bare trees seem confused

the buds lie in wait

frozen to their wits end

 

intelligence is a blade of grass

leaning toward a cold sun

demoralized by the trick

 

when will the green serene scene

paint itself into our lives

we are artists with pallets contrived

to a tepid scam of sorts

 

i so want those flowers

to be real.

Plastic flowers are for plastic people. Nothing can replace the real thing. Better none than plastic. Your word choice in the second stanza is excellent.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind words, Christine.

They are real; sometimes though rather difficult to recognise, as the imitation can be so very, very lifelike.

What we wish for and want and pray for is alas far from some people’s hearts- not seeing the scam as not part of the plan- well maybe their warped plan- something I’ll never understand- sometimes better to stop trying to understand - I Too do want the flowers to be real- wonderful words always🌹
