Timid fragile flower with strength
to bear and thrive through frost
you push your way through compacted soil
to spread a sunshine blanket
under woodland canopy
where no sun shines
you remain pure along shoulders
of polluted carriageway
and in a cemetery of tombstones
you stand alert and alive
your palest glow a greeting
that follows with fragrance elusive
as your unfolding gown dallies
its subtle caress in green velvet folds
Beautiful 🙂
what a treasure gilly!
Lovely. Wild primroses are one of my favourite flowers
Lovely writing, Gilly. 🙂
Wonderful poem.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
It’s been ages since I saw primrose…lovely shot and beautiful poem.
Uplifting, as well as beautifully written. (a little pun–couldn’t help myself)
Love this Gilly!
