standing alone
I noticed a plant this morning
while walking
growing in a yard
tall, thin, standing alone, unexpected
I would have considered it a weed
its large leaves not so attractive
yet it supported vibrant, bright
red
flowers
tropical looking, so not exactly at home
this plant is growing in an odd place
alone in a section of the lawn not divided as a flower bed
can’t one be bright and beautiful, standing alone
seemingly out of place
a surprise to the passersby
vibrancy on a hazy day
