Растение Из війна
Not so long ago, there stood nothing ,
But just a растение – gloomy and fragile
With-
Petals:
That once shimmered in black berry bliss
With savour alluring bees and bugs
With the right shade contrasting the viridescent stretch.
Now glimmering in crimson of somebody’s son
With veins so rotten as in the crooked's flesh.
With a bent horn hearing the laments of the son's lady.
Leaves:
That once shimmered in emerald
With blades well shielded with dew
With axils so strong and not yet broken by gale.
Now glimmering under the clusters of missiles
With a stoma sucking tears that hover around
With a ruptured midrib like a backstabbed soldier at the field
Roots:
That was once innocent in taffy pink like an infant's toe
With nodes harking to the waltz capered
With a good hold not betraying it’s earth.
Now tottering under the tracks of “The Soviet T-34”
With root hairs feasting over the trails of blood
With a thirst for more and more……
(Note: растение- plant , Из - of( buryat) , війна- war( Ukranian))
I am a rising senior in a high school. I am passionate about poetry. And l believe that poetry is the best tool to influence.
