All Comments on 'Thistle'

I love this made me smile too it is the almost the Ugly Duckling story in reverse. Well done defintely the best of the day

So simple and yet so effective at evoking the beauty of the fresh-faced and unassuming among us. There is a rich contrast between the idea of "I'm only a thistle" and the fact that the thistle is, in fact, quite beautiful in its own unique way. Well done! <br><br>

When the thistle blooms then it radiates its own vibrant personallity.

Best wishes.

Very nicely done. Not a word wasted.

how one word can come close to ruining an otherwise good poem. Drop that one word and read it, see how much stronger the poem is. Adverbs are crutches for those with weak vocabularies. You seem to have a good one though, don't allow that one thing to trip up your work.
