The best way to show how NOT to write poetry is to try and make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, yea or nay?

Question

Root and Crown

If I were a flower... the synergy of photosynthesis and carbon cellular need would make me smile.
If I were a flower... I would be a daisy. They are all the same.
If I were a flower... Trouble takes many forms, at the end if the day it is better to stand rooted than run.
If I were a flower... paisleyed, watercolored drops of rain feeding the root, calling forth the flower.
If I were a flower... I would not scramble for asynchronous forms to hide the soiled verbal stem on which I hoist my star, rickety and thin like all the other "I love you so much..." mumbo jumbo.
If I were a flower...I'd be a red one.

Answer 2

'However, data from similar cross-sectional studies of adolescents do not support the assertion that all individuals will automatically move to the next cognitive stage as they biologically mature. Data from adolescent populations indicates only 30 to 35% of high school seniors attain the cognitive development stage of formal operations (Kuhn, Langer, Kohlberg & Haan, 1977). For formal operations, it appears that maturation establishes the basis, but a special environment is required for most adolescents and adults to attain this stage. '
