A Pic and A Poem<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Angsty bluebird, what’s wrong with you?
You used to sing so sweet and true
Now your melodies are filled with pain
What happened to your joy, what’s to blame?<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For in his croak, both meanings reside,
A tale of life’s beauty, and the tears we hide.
So let us remember, the toad’s humble cry,
And cherish each moment, before it passes by.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In silent battles, waves wrestle and fight,
At peaks shining with radiant light,
Now shadows prevail, obscuring sight,
Where once stood power, vibrant and bright.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Bees and butterflies, seekers of nectar,
Are guided by helices, an alluring vector.
For when the zephyrs begin their ballet,
These delicate spirals come into play.
A dance of attraction, a floral romance,
Drawing the pollinators into a trance.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For the opium flower, with petals so fair,
Holds within her core a merciless snare.
Her blooms, a reminder of life’s fragile thread,
A paradoxical beauty, where life and death wed.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ladybird gazed upon bees, with envy and awe,
Dreaming to join them, in nature’s grand draw,
For their honeyed mission, she longed to partake,
To dance amidst petals, her own buzz to make.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In a land parched and barren, where the sun blazed high,
A humble clover dwelled, under an arid sky.
With each passing day, the heat grew intense,
As the clover faded, it abandoned pretense.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This creature, adorned in holy attire,
Holds aspirations fueled by desire.
In gardens and meadows, it finds its delight,
A messenger of grace, in sunlight so bright.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Lantern flower glows,
Outshining the sun’s bright rays,
With its elegance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
