This is absolutely charming! I love the idea that you want to be like them. They have many admirable qualities.
I love your final line
But flowers are inside of me
Well done poet

Pam,
This is a great poem; you express the concept of "yearning" so well.
I yearn for things in my life; to travel and see wonderful places I'll never know.
if I were to be a flower, I would want to live in sunny Italy,
A wonderful thought-provoking poem.z
Best wishes for health and happiness,
Cindy

I also love flowers. I have a lovely garden but here in Spain it is so hot at the moment That lots of them have shriveled up. I will start again in Fall. Nice poem and illustration. Love Jen.

I enjoyed reading your lovely poem. It was cheery and bright. I also enjoy walking among the flowers. I am thankful I don't have allergies like my husband.

    Did you mean to give me four stars? If so, how can I have improved? Thank you.

This poem is so cute and I enjoyed reading it about nature. I like to see how you view nature yourself with such a remarkable poem. I really
like the nice weather and flowers, but the pollen causes bad allergies for everyone. We are very connected to nature. Excellent.

Thanks for sharing this well-crafted poem about flowers. I know this is sort of your signature style and I will still suggest the following:
-crop off the bottom of the image to remove the ugly white border and text
-use a larger font and turn off the word wrap

I was also initially confused by this line: "but, my intentions, flowers foil." I understand what you MEAN; it will just be a bit mucky for the reader to understand that right away since you are flipping the clause order to end on a verb. I thought at first the word "foil" was being used as a noun.

Thanks for the read,

SS

This is a sweet and rather philosophical verse about being a flower. Your verse has a good, solid rhyming rhythm, fluent and pleasing to read with an added fun factor! Take care Debbie

BOO is reading...I suppose, BOO picks this as my favorite stanza.

I watch the flowers climbing high.
They yearn and strain to reach the sky.
I wish so much to be like them,
but, I don't even have a stem.

Shutterstock does have a good collection of pictures. Deviantart ain't bad. "Stop and smell the roses!"

Flower power! Nice poem!

BOO!

We shall say that you are a flower child and that God has blessed you with all the beauty that every flower has...the scent, the looks, and the happiness that the flowers bring. Beautiful thought and poem/
