Petals

Petals is a poem by American imagist poet Amy Lowell, published in her 1912 collection A Dome of Many-Colored Glass. Lowell, who was born in 1874 and posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1926, was a prominent figure in early 20th-century literature. The poem reflects her vivid imagery and emotional depth, showcasing her unique voice within the imagist movement. Despite being largely forgotten after World War II, Lowell's work has seen a resurgence in interest due to women's studies and the feminist movement.
