Unacquainted Flower
Red-yellow bloom
What is your name?
You look so like
The eye of flame
I wonder if
At night you keep
The dark at bay
E’en as you sleep
And if your heat
Would drive away
The peckish deer
That comes your way
I long to have you
For my own
But know it was not I
That sown
And I would rather
See at dawn
When shadows fade
Until they’re gone
Your petals reaching
At your height
To greet the morning
Dressed in light

I think your poem is very pretty. And I find your rhyme scheme interesting. It's different but I like it, I feel like it gives it a nice flow. Out of curiosity did you purposefully keep your lines so short or did the poem just flow from your mind that way?
I hoped to keep it very simple, as the thought behind the piece lent itself to simplicity. Thank you for your kind words!
