As her walls unfurled
Her orbs uncurled
Her world unlit
And slashed her grit!

Up and down her eyes roam
Longing to be a blome!
Above her, she espied a chink
So did she overhear a spink!

As she blattered the surface
Attempting to rise from the rummage
Upreared her head
Above the soil with no dred

As her petals sway
Her aroma dwells over the brae
Unlike a recreant
She stood resilient!
She stood resilient!
