Weird Flower [a poem]

alien tendrils sprout in banana yellow,

a crisscross of purple limbs, a centerpiece atop

your body. what are you? a U.F.O. among the leaves?

a kaleidoscopic array of spikes and colors starburst

from dark hair carefully manicured in a circular

formation. what a strange thing you are.

squash yellows, purples, dark browns, and soft shade of blues.

the design is divine mathematics pleasing to the eye, but

you are a weird flower.


I found this flower on a walk in a residential neighborhood near Coit Tower. I’d love to know what it is, if you know please leave a comment below.
