Chapter 3 - Phases of a Flower Poem

Phases of a Flower Poem:
van der Linden, A., (2019). Phases of a Flower Installation,
Copper and Sterling Silver
Phases of a Flower

Her eyes shut closed tight
Delicate, young and naïve
she conceals her face

Tiny leaves still weak,
stiff and stocky, out of place,
she has much to learn

She starts to open,
blooming and growing stronger
a growing flower

embracing changes
waiting in anticipation
for her to unfold

She has shown her face
blooming in strength and courage
growing confidence

Petals are dancing
in choreographed movement
nearing her summer

Standing in full bloom
she is tall and confident
her head is up high

Courageous and bold
she’s a tactile temptation,
her beauty to hold

She’s falling apart
scattering petals around
swept up by the wind

And sowing her seeds
she deposits her knowledge
of new beginnings
