“The Language of Flowers”
Please use poetry to tell me the meaning of a flower that you adore or is endearing to you. Try to create a story/scene with it, if you can. I’ll go first as an example.
A ROSE WILL RISE
You're a beautiful rose
Protected by thorns
In a garden of weeds
Evils hide their horns
You deserve better
You can’t waste your time
Weed out the imposters
Don’t get intertwined in their lies
Your beauty is enticing
But you’re more than just this
You can always outsmart them
Be aware they exist
They believe you’re a dandelion
With one selfish breath
They’ll blow you to pieces
Left to gather what's left
Trust your instincts; pay attention
Stay on the alert
You won’t find what you need
By sifting through dirt
