The Terrarium

One evening sitting on my balcony

My mind was in cacophony

I sat reclining on my chair

Remembering all that I saw at a fair

Of all the things that I saw

Almost all had a flaw

I still kept recollecting 

What could be interesting 

Oh, yes I remembered!

It was a piece treasured..

 

Several succulents grew 

Which I never knew

I stood staring 

Wondering if it was worth caring

Suddenly, I saw a butterfly flutter

Which made me mutter

Yes, I need the piece unique

So, I made the decision quick 

I brought a terrarium 

And placed it near the aquarium

My table had a piece

Which was without a crease 

It was a beauty 

Without much duty

I was carefree

As my little tree

It was my dream

But now we are a team

As I cared

My tree fared!

I stood looking down 

At my terrarium brown

Oh, I killed you dear

Without being near

I am sorry 

For the lost glory

My terrarium dear

Please don't fear

I know it is strange

But I promise to change!
