“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
