The Flowers Have Eyes

This poem was written at my own leisure. 100% free style, any rhetorical devices found are entirely coincidental. Photo by Recep Gulec at photo.com. :)

THE FLOWERS HAVE EYES
My oh my . . .

The flowers have eyes,

A garden flourished with them.

Long thick lashes are their petals,

Light enters through their pupils,

They cry when it rains.

Yet they are silent--

For they have no lips to hint us.

A field of them gaze at our eyes.
Curiously wondering who we are.

Their stems are long optic nerves

Mother Nature is observing us,
In my paradigm of flowers with eyes . . .
