The poem Wallflowers, was not my first choice of a poem to blog about, for some reason I did not like this poem... i found it rather pointless. but after they taught this poem as a class, reading the poem later on made a lot more sense to me. I believe that Donna wrote this poem meaning Wallflowers was the word she had descovered, and throughout the poem talked about. Wallflowers, just like a lot of other words, was maybe comminly used but know one actually understood the meaning. Its very true with a lot of words that people seem to hear a word then use it a lot in their conversations and soon it becomes a part of who that person is. Sometimes it's the actual meaning of the word, or it is just the reputition of using the word that makes the word "owned" by someone. She is inviting unknown, or uncommon words into her poem, or into her life.
