Written for: Poets United Midweek Motif~National Flags (posted by Susan)
Write a poem about a nation’s flag and what it stands for. Include description.
Unusually shaped,
Nepal’s flag is a cutout,
points representing
peaks of the Himalayas.
Sun and moon are peaceful
universal symbols. Red
is not blood shed or
bravery, merely the shade
of Rhododendron, flower
of Nepal. I love the blue
outline, like a comfort
of peace surrounding
this country.

This is a lovely representation of the Nepali flag. It’s sad that their political situation is such a wreck — it’s good though that they finally have a stable government.
