Weed or Flower?
by damommy

You are right, sometimes weeds are beautiful and wild flowers too. Your poem flows well. It draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

You did an awesome job with this complex style, Yvonne. Your presentation is perfect. I love the beautiful picture and the color scheme. You described the tickseed coreopsis well. I could see everything as I read. This style choice worked el for your well-thought out words. I know how much you love nature and all of her beauties she gives to us. This is certainly a flower. I would love to have it growing in my yard, even if others think of it as a weed. Your lines read smoothly with great meter, great rhymes, and an even greater story.
Thanks for sharing a beautiful example of this style, but even more for sharing a beautiful poem.
Respectfully, Jan

Hi Yvonne, to my untrained eye they almost look like a sunflower. I'm sorry they don't want to grow in your garden. It must have something to do with the soil. I loved your free verse poem. Ulla xx

The shift in tone is probably the most awkward part of this to achieve while still maintaining the overall theme. I thought you managed it very well in this piece.

My wife has more luck with her coreopsis than you do with yours. She needs to thin them out to keep them from overtaking the garden. I am impressed with the craft as well as the content of this Sheshire. You handle that challenging rhyme scheme very well. Rod

    Thank you. I've had coreopsis before, but now I have no luck with them. I keep trying. It's good someone has some luck with them. lol
