Flowers are punctuations
A dandelion is an ellipsis . . .
for its seeds are blowing away.
A comma is a lily,
for it’s buried in the ground.
A colon is two buds or flowerlets:
for they are small and have dots.
A quotation is two hollyhocks
“For their heads reach all to the sky,” they say.
An apostrophe is a hydrangea
for it’s used and loved endlessly.
An exclamation mark is a catmint
for it is bright, beautiful, and dotted!
A period is a singular baby’s breath
for it’s small, short, and stout.
A question mark is a jade vine
for it’s long, and questions are asked, like “Why are they here?”
A dash is a Sakura branch
for it’s long—and to the side.
A slash is a tulip
for it’s slanted/bended to one side.
An asterisk is a begonia*
*for it’s small and starry and short.
An ampersand is a Spiranthes sinensis
for it’s twisted & spun.
Parentheses are Middlemist reds
as they much aren’t seen and curved (slightly)
