Na/GloPoWriMo Day 19

well that’s dandy
.
you
dare to call me
weed,
useless, crushing me 
while foolishly trusting in daisies
who would
tell you lies to please you
when it comes to love.
you should have
placed your trust in me 
for I can grant your heart’s desire
a simple wish, no petals to pluck,
just a whisper taking flight

Na|GloPoWriMo 2026 Prompt: Today, pick a flower or two (or a whole bouquet, if you like) from this online edition of Kate Greenaway’s Language of Flowers. Now, write your own poem in which you muse on your selections’ names and meanings. If you’re so inclined, you could even do some outside research into your flowers, and incorporate facts that you learn into your work.

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you! ~kat
