“Flowers On Trees” By Michelle Portillo Aguiar
December 6, 2021
“Isn’t it odd that a flower can grow on a tree?
You would think that they would grow on the ground and be with the bees.
They say that all flowers can bloom anywhere with right requirements.
I find that these type of flowers are like me including the lodgements.
I may not be on the same level as the others nevertheless, I am still one.
So treat me like one.”
I created this piece of literature with art because I love cherry blossoms and it inspired me to draw them. In the process, I found that I am similar to cherry blossoms so I decided to write a poem to go with it. I related cherry blossoms to myself by saying how we both aren’t on the same placement as others, however, we shouldn’t be treated any differently. I gave the poem the title “Flowers on Trees” because I believe it gives the poem more meaning.
