Mellow Yellow Monday: Daisies


 

These yellow daisies,
raked by wind and rain, cannot
take away my pain.*

  1. This creates mystery within me…wondering if you are in pain…if so, I am so sorry.

  2. poignant and sad. I do hope you’ll have a good week.

  3. Very sad poem, but the daises are very pretty and cheery. Happy MYM!

  4. For some reason the photo is not appearing – I have refreshed several times! But like the others, I feel there is a sadness in your poem that is very real! Walk in peace!

  5. Now the photo has appeared right after I posted my comment! The daisies are very bright and lovely…but still I wonder!

      Gemma,

      I added this disclaimer as a footnote:

      *The pronoun “my” is merely a literary device. It does not refer to the poet’s pain!

      All is well! :-)

  6. Obviously loved dearly by someone….
    Anyone who has lost someone dear can relate.

  7. That is very beautiful and very sad at the same time – I’m sorry for your sadness.

  8. I learn from you again about the “my” in the poets perspective. Good to know it’s all a poem and not in real life. Happy Monday!

  9. Feeling sorry for the ones who lost a loved one…

  10. The cheerful yellow daisies must bring only the happy memories back.
    The true meaning of the roadside memorial is such a sad one.

  11. Sorry to hear that you’re in pain. Love the shot and the haiku.

    Happy MYM!

  12. Sounds like Elvis or maybe Hank Williams. I think I know that tune. ;)

  13. any flower at any graveyard tell of a story that the person who placed it there is hurting.
