Seed pods decorate
tall Cleome stalks
their slender tubular
bundles of seeds
filled with determination
for next year's renewal
annually replace
the pink and white blossoms
These lines were created in response to the word, 'seeds', which is this week's prompt at One Single Impression. For more poetry on this theme please visit the hosting site.

Nicely done! Seeds are resilient and magical, aren't they?
One of the many things I love about nature. I like the way you put this together.
You have based your text on some quite beautiful photographs. I did not know the Cleome flower until know.
I love the cycle of renewal. It reminds me that there is always a reason to be hopeful!
These are such gorgeous flowers. Now if I could get them to grow. I love your poems about them.
I love the line about "annually" replacing. We always seem to anticipate the flowers, but in a way, it's the seeds that are the real givers!
I liked that you focused in on one beautiful plant and its cycle of regeneration.
Wonderful take on the prompt. I liked your post last week for defenses down. I seem to have missed visiting. My apologies for that.
-"such gorgeous flowers"_
with words that respond to them as friends..thanks for sharing this..
What beautiful flowers! I loved the third stanza- it's very "human"!
:)
A seed of determination. . . very nice.
I am truly enjoying so many good reads today. Glad I got here. It just keeps getting better.
I like how you alternated the photo with the lines. Very nicely done.
Resilient - lovely - so many types of seeds!
I've gotten behind! These are lovely and your poems are always so apt. You have a gift for haiku. I always was a "rhyming poet" which some consider so old-fashioned. These flowers are so pretty in both colors.
