roots



Us two
Fighting, at first
For the same ground
To escape the other's shadow
Then maturing
Content in our own petals
Yet forever sharing
An undeniable resemblance
Always side by side
Until someone
Picked you
Took you away
But if e'er you should miss me
Return to your roots
I am always here
Your sibling


April is National Poetry Month.  I am going to attempt to poem each day here. For this particular piece, I was given an image of two flowers and challenged to write a 55-word free verse poem.
