Plant Growth Stages

This was a poem I wrote inspired by the beauty and creativity I observed in nature while completing field work on endangered plant species while I was working outdoors all day long. I (Rhonda, creator of BioSavants) wrote this poem in the summer after learning of the three main stages a seed goes through as it becomes a plant.

Life Cycles of a Plant

It’s all in the Ecology of things

Its all in the Nature of things

Coreopsis

Seed sown

Seed set

Seed grown

Only to be back again another day

in another way

Because it’s all in the Ecology of things

I mean the Nature of things

For the regeneration of life to occur

From the simple basic elements of

Soil – Light

Earth – Fire

Water

To breathe life into a plant

Representing

A bright chlorophyll green stalk

of flowers yellowish orange

Life

Death

And then Regeneration

A Seed is Sown

Only to repeat the cycle again

Another Day – In Another Way
