I didn't realize how a lotus grew. It does seem to be a strong encouragement to fight through your problems to get through to the other side.
Congrats of placing in the contests.

The follows the ABC form as it should, and delivers a coherent message. The imagery and artwork compliment the post. Looks excellent to my unschooled eye.

Amazingly beautiful, that out of the murky depth, can come these visions in pink and white. Just goes to show, appearances can be deceiving. Great ABC...blessings...

I love this and it could refer to a woman's journey, as well...I visited a place similar to the photo near my home...In this place, the forest was quiet...as if in prayer...serenity...no sound but falling water and pool's ripple...beautiful poem..

A very well-written ABC poem. The Lotus is one of the most beautiful flowers that flourish in the murkiest waters thinkable. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Excellent ABC entry, Sanku.
You know, each color of the lily has certain meaning. White lily symbolizes purity, daylily coquetry, while the tiger lily symbolizes majesty and wealth.
Known to man for thousands of years, the bulb of the Madonna lily, one of the more popular species of lilies out of hundreds, was once cultivated to make a medicinal ointment and was popular with the Greeks and Romans for both its medicinal properties, as well as its decorative beauty.
The name lily comes from the Greek word 'leiron' which referred to the white Madonna lily that is believed to have grown out of the milk of the goddess Hera.
Lilies are nowadays given as a 30th wedding anniversary flower.
Neither of my two marriages ever made it that far.
Nicely done, best of luck!
