I am Alive

In response to W3 Prompt #97We’ve Written Weekly hosted by Stine Writing.
Compose a poem inspired by the phrase a wilted flower in three stanza’s.

Do not pass by me or worse
pull me from my resting place
here within this luscious Earth

A wilted flower I may look to be
with my brownish tint and faded buds
but lots of life is still inside of me

Look again at my deep roots anchored here they are strong and feed me deciduously
I am not dead but only waiting for next year

    Exactly! I have found that living in Florida it is true that a little bit of life lives on in the roots, sometimes something I thought was dead has come back strong!
