What's in a Flower?
A Poem after Emily Dickinson
​
​
Oh, "dismal" is a lovely word;
It should have named a flower:
​
"I spied some dismals in the swamp,
A-growing by the tower!"
​
A dismal petal brings good luck,
So keep a dismal near you,
​
And when you lose your way in life
A dismal thought will cheer you.
