I Potted Up a Plant

I potted up a plant, with love, for you; Although I fear it could turn out a weed: I’ll have to stick a flower on with glue... It wasn’t something that I really do, But when I found a bird’s discarded seed, I potted up a plant, with love, for you. I could present you with a species new! Perhaps I’ve got a tree or bush or reed... I’ll have to stick a flower on with glue. I cried the day you said our love was through; It’s sad you say I am not what you need. I potted up a plant, with love, for you. I left and didn’t know what else to do... They say that flowers help with love; indeed, I’ll have to stick a flower on with glue. It’s growing huge with spiky leaves of blue; I gave it whisky, lots of chicken feed; I potted up a plant, with love, for you; I’ll have to stick a flower on with glue. written 12th June for 'Villanelle me a flower' contest
