Every now and again I find myself really looking closely at the detail, not only of a garden in general, but of one specific flower or plant, and being amazed at the beauty and genius of the design. I love to imagine their personalities and personify their behaviour (ie, describe their behaviour as if they are human). For more details on how to do this, look at the TEACHERS’ PAGE, FIGURATIVE WRITING, PERSONIFICATION, or if you would like to just enjoy my flower poems you will find them listed below. The title will indicate how much relevance the poem has (some poems will simply mention flowers at some point, others will be written completely about one type of flower) I have also provided a brief description of the figurative writing and poetic techniques that each poem uses, simply to make it easier to select the most useful poems for your purposes.

Of confidence and blessings…
It’s the daffodil parade! [click to continue…]

The dance floor’s overflowing
With regal ladies proudly dressed,

Now Summer takes her place.
She proudly shines her spotlight on
A rosy, glowing face…..

Her delicacy shows,
Performing with perfection
