fact or fiction
Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.
Wildflower
Wildflower, Wildflower, how misconstrued are thee. Never to be the chosen one, forever doomed to be the forgotten one. Passed by without the turn of a head, not even the blink of an eye. Opt out for flowers held in higher esteem. The quite costly array, approved by stuffy aristocrats, the arrogant elite, the contemptuous hoity-toitys, the orthodox clout chasers, with their pockets full of posy. Only held in treasure by local pollinators. For wildflowers don't abide by set out rules, nor join in the masses, unified by the majority, pulled like puppets on a string, minions, all seeking omnipotent social conformity.
