    Flower Man II
    Flower man stands by the stop sign
    Sellin' roses two for five
    We have a little arrangement
    The flower man and I

    I roll up, slide down the window
    He plucks out two for five
    He knows I'm in a hurry
    Waves as I go by

    The flower man doesn't know she can't
    Watch roses fade and die
    She told me weeks ago
    Said they made her cry

    I don't know why I buy them still
    Two bunches for a five
    Maybe cause the flower man
    Still waves as I go by.

    Beautiful sequel. Nice form and imagery. I really like your use of allegory. Thanks!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
