Rose Gold
Elegant and Refined
It grows from soil, terra firma, with little guidance
Small buds on the vines that creep between the cracks
And push them apart with reckless defiance
Pastel petals arrange layered and radiating
The cherry blossoms grow with quiet determination
And blooms the same color as a mind creating
Rare in nature, this refined shade of pink
It hues the arms of the coral providing shelter
It is resilient when pushed to the brink
It’s the color of an innocent flower,
With the serpent lying under it
It’s royal, but not dominant in its power
There are things in life, only valued by the curious
There is strength in passion for the world
In remaining humble with gentle invariance
A rose of gold wraps around lithe fingers
And sapphic affection grows as effortless
They can cut the flower, but the color lingers

A Bird With a Funny Name or: How to Live with a Challenging Pet
Parrots make terrible pets. It makes sense if you look at their nature. In the wild many, like Macaws and Amazon Parrots, live in dense rainforests. When they want to find their friends or alert others to danger, they scream. They have to be loud for the sound to carry through the greenery - so they can scream very, very loud. Living in a rainforest also allows them to be messy. It’s easier to drop bits of their fruit to the forest floor and grab more off a nearby branch than meticulously eat every bit of their snack. Though it makes them seem wasteful, it’s a behavior that is important to the ecosystem, allowing for new plants on the floor to grow.
