Written by Amizura Hanadi
Succulents
Such strange desert plants
Having a cunning resemblance
to Pokémon characters
with peculiar names
Bear Paw and Cat Paw
They come in myriads of colours
yellow, green, purple, pink, orange, maroon
All looking so plump and somewhat juicy
Some would even produce flowers
upon reaching maturity
Flower buds inadvertently take a long time to finally bloom
The anticipation and excitement
A fun guessing game
of predicting the colour of the flower
