soft brown earth
crumbly soil
pushed over with a shovel
so it wouldn’t spoil
a single seed
planted deep within
the plant started off
rather thin
then over some weeks
with water and light
the plant looked
quite a sight
a pink flower
with patches of red
orange pollen
and a hanging head
pretty in the sun
snug at night
the pink flower
was very bright
then more months
and covered with bees
good weather and
a light breeze
the plant shared its seeds
all over the ground
and the metamorphosis
went once more round
