Apology Flowers Abandoned On The Side Of The Road In Anger

Periwinkle blue petals peer through spring

green blades of tall grasses

across the paved road to the median

on the other side. Yellow black-eyed susans

wink at willowy pink buttercups who

wave at passerby.

Stately purple and lavender thistles stand

guard, watching the display of color. Crimson

red clover teases dainty white wildflowers

as they stretch skyward trying to be tall.

She threw the spray of blue flowers, wrapped

in silver foil, out the window as she

drove home. His heart felt as if it was left

on the side of a road.

Nature caressed the tender leaves, which were adorned

with blue petals, to root in the comfort of a roadside ditch.

Now, they gingerly wave to meet the other flowers who grow

naturally in this setting. Soon, the newcomer will spread

and become another

wildflower

to beckon cars to slow down and take a peek.
