On A Cobbled Sidewalk

 On a cobbled sidewalk I found this shadow of an unnamed plant

lying sprawled across my way.

For a moment I paused,

stunned by its boldness hitting me unaware.

Couldn't resist seeing again.

"Stay put until I find your name and come back", said I to the plant,

and walked ahead. Much later as I sauntered back

the plant was still there as if hoping for me to come back

with a name found for it during my long absence.

Thank you, Sushama! Loving the dialogue with the unnamed plant on your way which had you stop just the way I did, when seeing its "bold" presence on a reconquered urban scene! I dedicate this photo to your poem!
