Poetry Friday – Be Like A Daisy

Hi, everyone! A warm welcome to my blog.

Here we are for another weekly poetry challenge! We have a theme prompt for Colleen Chesebro Poetry Prompt Challenge. Sarah selected this month’s theme:

Lessons From Nature

I’ve chosen to write a two stanza Shadorma.

The Shadorma is a Spanish poetic form made up of one or more stanzas of six lines each. It’s a syllabic poem with a meter of 3|5|3|3|7|5

I love daisies. They are the cheeriest, sweetest flowers I know. They’re dainty flowers yet resilient and mighty enough to break through concrete. I was emotional when I wrote this poem, don’t ask me why. I couldn’t help laughing at myself through the tears. Luckily, I was alone in my house. Otherwise, someone might have thought I was crazy.

DAISY

A daisy 
lifts its golden eye
powers through 
the asphalt 
truly believes in itself 
Be like a daisy 

Don’t give up 
because things are hard
Try again 
Persistence 
Grow through your cracks like daisies 
blooming through cement 

“The splendor of the rose and the purity of the lily do not rob the little daisy of its simple charm.”

I hope you enjoyed today’s poem! Thank you for your visit.
