The Job of a Flower Q2 15
This was my favorite piece of poetry from this quarter. It is mainly about how people can be like
flowers. Like in the past piece I used many metaphors and similes to express what I was trying
to say. This piece was shared with Daniela Sandoval and Vania Alvarez. They both told me to
add more examples which I eventually did. A part of this piece that I think is very powerful is the
ending.
“To be a helpless victim
And then put a thorn
through someone's finger.”
I did not really like this part I thought it was very weak.
“The job of a flower is to
Wait,
Dry and,
Die”
I decided to include this piece because I wrote this during a period when I was actually quite
inspired. I’m really proud of this piece because when people have read this piece they have told
that it was of their favorite pieces of mine.
