Corpse Flower
In Sumatra's shade, it blooms,
A giant's breath of doom.

Foul scent cannot hide.
Beetles come, they heed the call,
Life in stench, amidst the thrall.
Nature's odd, dark display,
Night and day, it sways.

Nature's way, both stark and dim.
Rare bloom in jungle deep,
Secrets in its silence keep.
