Wild Flowers

5'6 Feet Above
Can't feel the ground below me
My mind escapes me 
My thoughts are wild flowers
in a sea of endless weeds

  1. I like how you used figurative language to describe your thoughts! You have a lot of thoughts some god but some bad. I really like this poem because I can imagine what it looks and feels like in your mind. Great Job!

  2. This is an extraordinary poem, I think of these flowers as sunflowers when you say 5'6, and then I remember you are much taller than me. You have a great way of expressing yourself in that your thought are wildflowers and wildflowers spread so I can see why you are in art, your thoughts are endlessly creative and beautiful.

  7. I think that this poem shows a lot of thinking and uses alot of figurative language about your life. To me i think the wild flowers could e a play on words for a wild but deliquette mind and the endless weeds shows tough times. Great Poem

  11. I really liked how you described your thoughts as wild flowers and also how you wrote this in a way that it can be interpreted in different ways. Your emotion when writing this came through and it created an almost worried emotion for me. I can tell this has a personal meaning to you which makes it really special for me to read and experience it.

  12. This poem really expresses the way you see yourself. You see yourself as a rare and beautiful thing full of life when you are surrounded by millions of people who are just rotten and ugly (referring to the personality), which is a very good thing. At first you set the tone and describe the scenery and then get into your personal feelings which perfectly follows the pivot in the 3rd line. I enjoyed reading and getting to dig into this poem.

  13. I like how you included the feeling you have of the ground and why you have these feelings. I can connect to my mind escaping me because when it does I lose all focus and what I am listening to it goes straight through my head into one ear out the other

  15. Your poem was amazing, Nikki! It really reflects your personality in a new way and the last two lines (metaphors) were amazing. This would be the poem to really dig deep on! Great job!
