Poem #11 - The Dahlia


Yesterday I purchased a Dahlia in red,
"It is truly a beauty,"
I said.
The Dahlia came in a little brown flower pot,
It would need sunlight,
But not too hot.

From Mexico the Dahlia originated,
But to the US this one was fated,
To be in my company,
To observe the outside from a certain degree.

The Dahlia replaced the two roses,*
Who unfortunately did not have a long life span,
But I would one day get a couple again,
If I can.

* poem about the Two Roses written on April 1 2009 (see blog).
