Garden

Not

Sure, you can lay here, in my garden, so long as you don't, ya' know, mind the "Madness"

 

I didn't invite you, but why not come, plant down and flirt at me by my bed as the sun passes

 

Do you trust your nature? Don't do well under heat? Would you like some time to freshen up bud? You're not a catch yet nor very gallent

 

I won't care what you do. You can root for yourself, because I'm 120% sure you wouldn't survive a change in season

 

You should try though, don't be so stiff. Rise, reach, buzz and branch about! Join me under the sun. Let's see if you bloom something that catches this Venus trap's attention

 

Vine to the top! Then we'll fuck around sans grieves regrets or doubts in our action. Don't shiver stagnate, you'll never make use of sadness! Let's fever in style! Now head to the "Garden of Madness!"

    like the way you kept that sarcastic poetic voice, all the way through the write
    and unmasked its undertone of a defensive mechanism..
    and I have to agree
    after reading your author's comment, this definitely has the feel of a first person game character bio intro,
    for a sassy character..
    thanks for sharing, an intriguing read

      Thank you so much for the analysis. Yes, what stands out about the character is that they often say encouraging things, but their sarcasm and sass makes their intent ambiguous. So I challenged myself to write a poem in their tone. I wanted the reader to feel unsure of trusting of the speaker's encouragement by the end.
