Wildflower - #prosery #dVerse #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro

Hello, beautiful readers! For this week's dVerse's Poets Pub, Sanaarizvi invites to participate in Prosery: In the words of Lisa Bellamy. A prosery is a short piece of prose that tells a story in less than 144 words. For this prosery, we must include the following quote by Lisa Bellamy's "Wild Pansy" poem: "As a seed, I was shot out the back end of a blue jay when, heedless, she flew over the meadow." So, here is the fictional prosery I created.

Wildflower

Life hadn’t always been easy. My birth mom was a Blue Jays fan. When I was old enough to understand her abandonment of me, I’d tell people that as a seed, I was shot out the back end of a blue jay when, heedless, she flew over the meadow. She popped me out in an alley, behind a garbage bin, and went on her merry way…without me.

Luckily, it was summer, and some kind passerby heard my wails and found me. Social services took me in and found me one home after another. Not too many couples could handle a drug addicted baby who never stopped wailing. Eventually, my seed got planted in a garden full of nutrients and sunlight, and I began to blossom.

Today, I’ve created my own seeds, and I’m growing them in my garden while showering them with endless love.
