French marigold
French marigold
The stem is a thick as a newborn baby
And the pollen blows like glitter through
the air.
French marigold roots are as bendy as
worms. The marigold grows in soil as
soft as a pillow.
The Petals are as shiny as gold
and glow like the
moon at night. The
petals dance like little
ants at night.

Harry, you have really gone for similes in this poem. Some of them work really well and add to the description such as, ‘soft as a pillow’ and ‘shiny as gold.’ However, I don’t really understand ‘thick as a newborn baby.’ What do you mean by that?
