Plants In Agony Comments

Rating: 4.0

I am a flower who lived in peace
in a garden which looked very much like heaven
but the gardener planted some noxious weeds
the weeds bribed the foolish gardener

A trifle too obscure for my limited intellect, 'the weeds broke the flowers thorns', what does that mean, I know of flowering plants with thorns chaenomeles japonica for instance, but weeds tough enouugh to break the thorns?

Wow, I think that is a great poem. Very strong poem with strong and original imagery. Reading it, I was thinking of the corrupt politicians making life for just people tough, just because they allow the weeds in our society to flourish. Our Creator is the 'supergardener' far above any ordinary gardener and in the end the good plants will win. Weeds and corrupted gardeners tend to be so greedy that they suffocate themselves. Congrats man, if at the age of 16 you can write such a high qualtiy poem, I think a great future lies in front of you. If Egypt would be part of the Ottoman empire still, I would hope my country is part of it too. :)

That's so emotional and deep! ! I can see where you are going here! I loved the way you repeated: 'the weeds bribed the foolish gardener' That was nice! But you know...I loved when you used simpler vocabulairy and rhymed everything! That used to be nice aswell- - the way you played with words so simply and nicely! It felt like there was life in your poems! But this style is nice too...Maybe because I don't use this style of poetry I wasn't so impressed like I was with your other poems! ! But this is also beautiful! Good job!

Omar, great poem. You drew me directly into the garden to experience the misbehavior of the garderner and the negligence and terrible treatment of the flowers. Good write, keep up the good work. Lynn
