The petals of a flower, typically forming a whorl within the sepals and enclosing the reproductive organs.
The corolla is a vital part of the plant. It serves an important role/task: it protects the reproductive organs. The petals wrap around and hold the parts. Imagine a loving and protective embrace.
So, we would like to see poems and art that explore the concepts of protection, love, kindness and strength.
This issue is for disabled poets, photographers and artists only.
