Comments : purple hyacinths as killers

    by Poet on the Piano

    In love with your new poems (would it be called a series?). Giving each flower such a purpose and story so that it makes my heart ache.

    The decision to repeat the lines "and they remain", and have a full stop after each word, was just perfect. And the sense of fellowship, of unity, of building one another up and providing support when there isn't anything to fall back on...

    so lovely and meaningful!

    I've read all three of your killer flower poems (sorry, that made it sound like a bad b-movie haha) and this one is my favourite. The fact that they were 'entwined by chance' yet are chemically and unconditionally bound to each other is a really beautiful thought. Love it
