Question: Are you ready to give up your weeds and flowers for the year!?
Daisies wild flowers
Yellow white and orange in hues
Bouquets finely picked

Sprigs of baby’s breath
Tiny ornate flowers of white
Pleasures in my vase

Roses hold no candle
To the wild eyed beauty found
In black eyed susans

Nor the Shasta daisies
Wildly growing in my yard
A weed, No, a flower

Summer now over
Flowers gone until next year
Or found at florists

Basically, you are merely listing facts in this piece!. You do illustrate some feeling on the part of the narrator, but you don't seem to be reaching out to the readers enough to engage their emotions!.

When you write a poem, think: would this be something the people interested in the topic would want to keep and pass on to others!? Say it aloud to determine its heartbeat!. Too many poets write without speaking!. The entire point of poetry is to make it sing -- sadly or joyfully, but poems must touch the heart as well as the mind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I will never give up my weed!. Just try and let the government take it from me, I'm prepared to fight to the!.!.!.Oh, you meant weeds in the garden!. Well, yes, then I'm ready to give it all up until next year!. Forget the rest of that stuff!. Just being silly!. Of course!. Yeah!. Silly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like your line - A weed, no, a flower - as I have always believed that a weed is simply a flower where you don't want it!.

A rose in a field of wheat is a weed!.
