If Ruth Were A Flower.... [ruth Walters, Ph Member; 'Love' And Caring; Too Cute? ; Short]

Rating: 5.0


If Ruth were a flower,
I'd care for her each day.
I'd water and fertilize her,
and keep the pests away.

I'd give her all the sunshine
a flowering beauty needs,
and when winter cometh,
I'd be sure to collect the seeds.

Because Ruth is a winner
in every flower or poem show,
and we could use more like her
to help our low spirits to glow.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
this poem was part of a comment i just left at ruth's 2011 poem 'If I Were A Flower'. it is one of her more serious poems. i recommend it to all members. she also has some sassy poems on PH. i hope sassy is what i mean. :) bri

p.s. 'cometh' is an 'archaic' word in english, meaning it ain't (isn't) used much these days. it is a form of the verb 'come'.

there's a flower movement in visual art, too, Bri, as a counter to the troubled but inspiring human world, which adherents don't want to know.

i just added to my poet's note that cometh is a nice archaic word, a form of the verb come. bri :) i don't use it in my 'normal' speech. of course, my wife doesn't think MY speech is normal. [for some reason i spelled speech speach both times, before being yelled at by the computer. why isn't each spelled eech? ? ? ]
