Hey ObserverxD here ! Before i get started I want it to be clear that I don't believe everything I say is a fact. I'm just expresing my opinion on your work. It doesn't have to be absolutely correct, so take it with consideration.
Now this is interesting. Usually poems have more content from which a person can grasp the meaning. But this....is just pure genius. This poem can potentially have millions of meanings, it all depends on the way the reader understands it. I see it as a definition of life , you used a plant as a metaphore for a person living only because it is expected of it to live. Your poem is perhaps short. But it has a stronger impact on me than some longer poems with more content and desciptions.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for reviewing
Wow! What a fascinating poem!
There are many, many features to be discussed here. First, the fact that the plant is suicidal indicates personification, re-enforced by the capitalisation of the word plant. This might be intended to reflect that this poem is a metaphor for a real life situation. The watering might represent counsel of some sort, in which case one wonders at the poem's underlying mystery: was the plant grateful for the watering, once she had been nursed back to health, or was she angered by your actions? Use of the personal pronoun "My" is also interesting. It may be sign of benevolence, or of ownership. In the latter case, the plant is clearly being objectified, which would tally with the idea that it is a real person. Another point I felt intrigued by is your use of "kept on". This would seem to show that the plant had been behaving in this way for quite some time. A great deal of mystery surrounds this poem and a great deal is left unexplained. Perhaps that's because it's two lines long. Who can say?
Thanks for reviewing and those are interesting interpretations
I'm practising for my English exams. We have to write about the oddest poems, and that often means extrapolating more from them than the poet ever intended.
I can tell. Good luck.
I like this. It's a very interesting poem.
I can't say I've ever come across something quite like it.
I like the way it's portraying someone saving someone else from killing themselves if you look at it in that way.
It is however a bit short and it could be longer. But I do not think that is necessary in this case.
Keep up the goodwork!
Thanks a lot.
Nice.
