What a charming little vision you paint in this free verse poem. The description is vivid and you drew me right into the moment with the voice and tone. I love the country roadside foliage and while some call flowers there as weeds, they are indeed lovely and serve purpose. I like the surprise element you create and using the word "gem" is evocative.
The concept that children will enjoy the flower that pops up is a wonderful one as they have no real judgement of whether it is a weed or flower. If only we could see the world this way.
The free style flow is pleasing and I was not thrown out as I read aloud. The voice is gentle and the mix of longer and shorter lines is effective. The rhyming lines in the middle help give the action of the flower rising some emphasis. I was uplifted like the plant. Good call!
Your word choices helped create clear imagery of the scene and an appealing flow and soundscape to read out loud. Use of assonance and consonance assisted with this. I enjoyed entering into the vision.
Thanks for sharing your gift. I really felt the poet's appreciation for nature in this piece.
