Poetry Thursday

 

 My friends Angel Sammys and Teddys Pawetatonhave provided the picture below to inspire our poetry

The machines had taken over

From Alaska to the cliffs of Dover

No flowers, no trees, no field of Clover

The Earth had succumb to a hostile takeover

*

The sun rose and shown on nothing.

No joy did the frozen soil bring

There were no sounds, nothing to make one sing

Iron and steel was now king

*

One day, without warning, a flower bust through the ground

If anyone had seen the flower it would astound

The machinery ruled the Earth all around

But the flower stood proud unbound

*

Somewhere deep below the desert lived a bee

Who smelled the flower and began to dig free

And in Asia was a frozen bird in a tree

Who slowly thawed out and went twee twee tweee

*

The bird flew east and the bee flew west

And when they met it was the best

And with the flower they completed nature test

Then the bird and bee smocked a cigarette with they lie at rest

*

After the birds and bees were done one flower became two

And they grew

And the world was born anew

They grew in the sea too

*

Years later something emerged from the water tall and urbane

It was a creature greater than

All the others: It was man

And the flower realized in a million more years they would have to do all over again.
