A Minute Poem

The garden green is turning gray

Blooms lost their way

Old petals fall

While roses loll

Now vines hang low, their faces fade

Rotting nightshade

Roots deep sleeping

Willows weeping

Brilliant light quietly leaving

Lilies grieving

Sun stopped greeting

Life is fleeting

About the Creator

Tina D. Lopez

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
