It is such an amazing poem! Well done! People can relate, and how you used a flower to demonstrate that you mustn't be ashamed of who you are, or where you come from. It captured the idea really beautifully and clearly.

Thank you so much for the beautiful picture and the wonderful challenge to ignore the difficulties and all the reasons why we can't or won't. I think you have told us like Nike has just do it. I like the admonition bloom where you're planted.

Your well crafted free verse poem delivers a wise message we would all benefit from following. Rather than complain about unfavorable circumstances, turn lemons into lemonade. When you change the way you see things, the things your see changes. I wish you the best in the contest.

A great concept. I too have many times wondered how a lone flower, whatever it may be, survived by itself. Growing where others plants or no plants would bloom. Remarkable. Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a wonderful day.

A lovely photo and a well-constructed free verse poem with an excellent message for life and living. The sunflower is just as beautiful and strong, perhaps stronger beause of where she blooms. Best wishes for your entry.

You say you like to write in a lot of different style. That would be a style of its own, wouldn't it? You're living your poem of being the one sunflower on the side of the road. Obviously you have bloomed.

I had a pastor who always told her congregation that we should bloom wehre we are planted, you know there is so much truth in that. We don't have to go somewhere far away to do that. Good advice.

I think seeing the sunflower on the side of the road was a good inspiration for writing your poem. Your poem gives a strong message to stand tall and strong despite whatever one is going through.
