Pink Flower Petals

Famous quotes containing the words pink, flower and/or petals:

    Once they came on a maple in a glade,
    Standing alone with smooth arms lifted up,
    And every leaf of foliage she’d worn
    Laid scarlet and pale pink about her feet.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    With margeran gentle,
    The flower of goodlihood,
    Embroidered the mantle
    Is of your maidenhood.
    John Skelton (1460?–1529)

    the petals creak and
    begin to rise.
    They rise and recurl
    to a bud’s form
    and clamp shut.
    I wait in the dark.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
