CrUsHEd

The daisies sharpen their
petals
Intent on the war, still
Smiling their beauty
From the yellow white floor

Meadows of lush, enticing
and knowing
Pretty white petals
The sun's own fine snowing

Still, the laughter runs
headlong
Gathers memories sweet
All the daisies crushed red
beneath
White fragile feet

Such powerful imagery you created, the last line about daisies crushed under white fragile feet really drove home the message ☀❤

Oh...once again you have nailed it. Totally and unequivocally nailed it! An image that once brought happiness and happy memories has now returned to taunt. In this case it is sunshine, meadows and daisies ... but oh how that sunshine can disappear when the daisies sharpen their petals. How dare they!  Marion, my heart goes out to you. I have always loved your work but I do feel guilty for liking your recent work when it has come at such a cost. But then that is what great writers do...they channel their experiences ... and YOU are a great writer. Once again, heartfelt hugs x
