The artwork must have inspired your poem. Cleverly done, and best of luck in the contest. You also get in a touch of rhyme, which can't hurt with the judges. No one wants to be a potted plant. Maybe some men expect that. judi

I remember OJ*s lawyer telling the DA that he wasn*t a potted plant and he would be answering questions for his client.

That seems an unusual use of the expression. judi
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Very well done. It is clever and creative. It is certainly difficult to write a one-line poem that makes a statement. You pulled it off very well.
In a relationship, one has to grow and communicate rather that being an object with no opinion.
Good luck in the contest, this has to be a contender.
Regards,
Mary

Wonderful saying in one simple line which has loads of meaning flowing out of it. And an exciting picture that goes with the one-line poem. Thanks for sharing. Good luck!

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I enjoyed you fun poem with a serious message. Good job with the prompt. I believe you are saying that you cannot (will not) be ones; static person like a potted plant that doesn't talk and relies on someone else to take care of it or not. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Beautiful picture... All those humans are too big to be planted in the small pots.
The poem says: "Sorry, but I can't ... be your potted plant..." To me, this may mean, our relationship does not work out. Or I do not fit this job. Please educate us.
Thanks for sharing.

Potted plant to me is someone who is expected to be seen but not interacted with.
Comment from Jay Squires
I like your premise that a potted plant ain't goin' nowhere. Why the heck is there only one leg protruding from that one pot on the right. That was rather lurid of you to plant only one leg. The others look rarin' to go, though. I'll have to look up the ground rules for the monostitch poem. I do think the poetic message does come directly from the words used, even without the picture. But, interesting enough, the picture by itself might lead the reader to a similar conclusion.

As I read the rules, the only requirement is that it is only one line. Length, rhyme, meter, or topic are not mentioned. Thank you for the big six, Jay.
