Beautiful word choices. You gave these often-overlooked plants a voice and a sense of identity. A creative way to make us question what we call a “weed.”

Thanks for entering the Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge! We liked how you mixed those edgy plant names, it’s like a secret garden with a bit of attitude. The word "nefarious" really sets a cool, mysterious vibe!
