FLY & FLOWER


A ray in the dark room
the unsettling ambience
flower befriended the fly

Juvenile was his trust
Butterfly was good with words
slick and slimy at same time

Vicious trap was all set
mind of a child at no rest
eager the flower to impress

Fly started the extraction
flower engrossed in imagery
sinister plan flowed like canary

Haunted the souls were
Oh the disgusting practice
little did the flower suspect

Ray had left disapproving
fly the sadist beamed of hubris
a laugh flower would never forget

Suddenly routine met dead end
flower felt like abomination
time played the nurse for agony

All the anguish under landslide
flower spent life in gripe
seeing the fly jibe

Flower had flustered thoughts
Flower suffered rage fits
Flower had immutable shame
Flower died reproachful

Fly remained a proud fiend
Fly found other flowers
Fly extracted and lived
if only the first Flower had spoke
