I will share and share and share this poem until we all flower.

eileen chengyin chow @chowleen.bsky.social · Oct 8

I, however,
Have such meagre power,

Clutching at a
Moment,

While you control
An hour.

But your hour is
A stone.

My moment is
A flower.

-Langston Hughes, "Poet to Bigot"
#everynightapoem As ever.

I have done so little
For you.
And you have do little
For me.
That we have good reason
Never to agree.

I, however,
Have such meagre power,
Clutching at a
Moment,
While you control
An hour.
But your hour is
A stone.
My moment is
A flower.
-Langston Hughes, "Poet to Bigot"

flower smells so good
maybe it's because
it has no thoughts…..

White petals unfold,
Nourished by roots holding fast,
Earth's bounty unseen.

Lavender’s poem is in its scent, a drifting violet whisper that lingers like moonlight on the soul.

I was a flower,
Until every petal fell
For you, roots clinging.

Your evening Foster Flower update:

Flower would like to thank @samindy4.bsky.social for the lovely poem written about her.

I like seeing Flower in her cat bed & not in her box. When she’s in her box, it seems like she is hiding.

A poem our friend wrote about Flower. I’m sorry the text is too small for me to put the poem here. I have to enlarge it on my phone to read it and it won’t let me enlarge it and do the alt at the same time.

Flower is a black and white cat. She is lounging on her cat bed that has a blanket on it. It is a pinkish crocheted blanket.

a screenshot of a long winding brutalist staircase. there is a poem written on the wall. light comes through the windows. paint splats are on the stairs.

a screenshot of a tree that looks like a human bowing. the tree is large and covered in dandelion whisps. there is a poem at the base of the screen.

a screenshot looking up at old brutalist buildings. the buildings are abandoned.

a screenshot of a desert filled with dead trees. the dead trees almost look human. there is a poem at the base of the screen.

One flower

In a field of green

Has no idea

How much it means

To those who need

A moment of peace

That one flower

Is all we need

….. A Poem For Mary
