Hours and hours wasted.
I simply don’t believe it. Hours I have spent, nurturing,
tending, caring. All for what? It’s nothing short of a travesty. They looked beautiful, tumbling like brightly
coloured hair. The different colours
blending like an earthbound rainbow. I
cherished my little ones, spared them from pests and diseases, never letting
them go hungry. I placed them with love,
ensuring each had enough room to grow, to reach their potential. I used all my skill, my years of experience,
I gave them my all. All for this, my babies chopped and shorn, to make a living
statue.
What a great take on the prompt. I can feel your annoyance.

ReplyDeleteNice repetition of "all".

What an unusual idea. The frustration at how your babies have been treated to make this floral statue realy comes over well. Sally-Jayne
