Oh how I wish I would have found this thread sooner! I absolutely love seeing all the cool things people do. Mine has absolutely nothing to do with Mika, but I guess that's okay. I wrote this poem a couple months ago in my creative writing class. there are a few places that sound quite strange because of the given prompt. But anyway, it's from the perspective of a plant...
PLaNts
finally, spring is here
the most beautiful time of the year
xylem and phloem course through my veins
I quench my thirst with the drizzling rain
sun is out, shining bright
getting my power from the sunlight
branches blow in the open air
abundant with leaves when in winter left bare
summer has come and blossom will I soon
the warmth from the sun helps my flowers to bloom
my petals are beautiful and leaves so fine
people long to cut me from the vine
greedy and selfish, they want me for themselves
kept in a vase as if put in a cell
life in a vase is not one that is long
can’t they see what they do is so wrong
