The daffodil with heightened stem, Thought proudly, "I'm better than them!" It soaked up sun, on roots it grew the know-it-all of what to do. Petals looked up, without a care, put the pansy down for being rare. This haughty flower above the rest, tried to prove it was the best. Never good enough to be a friend, the lilac knew it had to end. On the conditions of the daffodil, disgust for pansy, nobody still. The flowers whisper, the snapdragon grin, It took one pinch to count him in. The laughter grew and then it went, the pansies doom, a flower's resent. Ugly to see, bad scent of breath, We must put pansy to her death. "I Hate you," "I Hate you more," the pansy learned to just ignore. The daffodil, claims, all is known, the pansy shouts, "Leave Me Alone!"

Shelley, What a wonderfully refreshing and imaginative little write. I love the short, sharp stanzas and the general personification of the flowers throughout. Enjoyed thoroughly! All the best, Ben
