Maple,

I love the personification of the flowers here and the extended metaphor of the tough weed/person.
This is beautifully written and I think just about deserves a nomination!

Take care and all the best,

Ben

This sent shivers down my spine Andrea.
Beautiful.

Freakin hell syrup!! I love you nature pieces so much, and i always love your metaphors, in this piece you have used them to maximum effect and effortlessly your writing never seems forced or rushed and almost always is relatable as s**t! Awesome write!!!

Andrea, this is intense drawing upon raw emotion and channeling it right here.

Well done, another gem. X

Touching and thought provoking. Thanks for sharing.

Andrea, this is just lovely! There's a lot of "weeds" that truly are beautiful and far more resilient than those hot house beauties. Loved this!

Okay Andrea, i think everyone has said everything i wanted to say!
Well done is all thats left! this is amazing.
