John Beharry Poet Personification

I Am a Wildflower

Out in the open meadow 
Swaying in the breeze
I am a wildflower 
Living a life of ease

The seed from which I grew 
Was blown here by the wind
It landed on the earth 
And that was my beginning

I am watered by the rain 
And fed by the earth
Each of them is dear to me
My life depends on both

I have two faithful friends
Who come to visit me
One is a pretty butterfly
The other is a honeybee

I feed them with my nectar
And then they fly away
I tell them to come back
On another day

I am bathed by the sunshine
Which makes my colours glow
It keeps me nice and warm
And also helps me grow 

My beauty is free for all to see
Even a little child
I love the life I am living
I enjoy being free and wild





wildflower - a flower that grows wild and free

I have added three more verses: (verses 4,5,6)
I had removed them to meet the contest requirements.

Andrea Dietrich May 9, 2015 at 2:07 AM this is a very sweet one, reminding me of a child giving his mom a wildflower for mother's day this weekend. congrats in my contest. John Beharry May 10, 2015 at 9:20 AM Andrea, Thanks for placing me in your contest. As I said in my reply to Darlene's comment below; to me, there is a certain simplicity in a wildflower, a beautiful one nevertheless, and this is what I sought to express in my poem. Nature cares for them. Best wishes to you.

Darlene Gifford May 5, 2015 at 8:46 AM I enjoyed your wildflower poem, John, and your true description. A 7 from me, good luck in the contest. John Beharry May 5, 2015 at 8:42 PM Thanks, Darlene. Flowers in flower gardens require much more care, and perhaps may invoke more elaborate imagery. That's fine. To me, there is a certain simplicity in a wildflower, a beautiful one nevertheless, and this is what I sought to express in my poem. Nature cares for them.
