Flowers on the floor
Flowers on the wall
Flowers fill my life
But I love them all
Flowers up and flowers down
Flowers all around
They’re all so pretty and never dull
Because they’re all beautiful
Tulips, daffodils and tiger lilies
I know it sounds silly
But they are all so pretty!
Carnations, Roses and Mums
I know it sounds dumb
But flowers are so beautiful
In all their ways

I wrote this poem when i was 10 years old, back when i thought all poems had to rhyme. It’s not my first poem, but it’s one of my firsts. I remember when i wrote it I was inspired by my wall paper. check out the picture it was very 70s. The picture was taken before i started writing poetry though. ( i think that is when i was writing plays for my stuffed animals to perform. I wish i had some of those, but i think they are all lost.)
