She is dead,<\/span><\/p>\n

My tiny little potted plant<\/span><\/p>\n

Her leaves scattered\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just below the loft<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dry and lifeless she lay<\/span><\/p>\n

Dead stalk shivering<\/span><\/p>\n

As the wind swayed<\/span><\/p>\n

The loft so high<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh! Who could have done it?<\/span><\/p>\n

I glared angry at the sun<\/span><\/p>\n

You must have scorched<\/span><\/p>\n

My poor plant to dust<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh! Who could have done it?<\/span><\/p>\n

I swore at the dripping hose\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You swamped my poor little thing<\/span><\/p>\n

Flooded her roots<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh! Who could have done it?<\/span><\/p>\n

I accused the harsh winds<\/span><\/p>\n

You shook her tender stalk\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Till she bent<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh! Who could have done it?<\/span><\/p>\n

I raged at the storm<\/span><\/p>\n

Your lightning struck her\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Little spirit out\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh! Who could have done it?<\/span><\/p>\n

I screeched at the pot<\/p>\n

You suffocated her growing spirit<\/span><\/p>\n

Stunted her to death<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her leaves rustled<\/span><\/p>\n

As if greeting me for one last time<\/span><\/p>\n

I could hear her whisper<\/span><\/p>\n

But where were you?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
