In the beginning he used flowers to metaphor victims of police brutality, like Eric Garner for example.]]> 2020-09-15 13:28:27 UTC https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747681093 890215583 https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747685858 These things happen suddenly, and out of nowhere. Lives are cut off seemingly randomly and all too fast. This was something I assciated with the flower metaphor, like things suddenly popping open while blooming.

He really paints a picture of how beautiful life is just like these flowers, and how tragic it is when lives are ended or "cut down."]]> 2020-09-15 13:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747686283 890214376 https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747687727 I believe that his poem went over themes of death. The use of flowers gave a more lovely tone but at the same time, it shows the suffering and killings of those who often get ignored. ]]> 2020-09-15 13:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747687727 https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747689248 The poem flowed very nicely from idea to idea but it revolved around nature and human's effect on it and how people are like flowers.

It was an important message about how lives matter even if we don't pay attention to them, which I feel is very relevant in this day and age.]]> 2020-09-15 13:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747689248 https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747689984 The poem used the metaphor of flowers to show how people are being cut down before there true colors show.]]> 2020-09-15 13:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747689984 https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747690820 he put a lot of thought on how he worded things.. by using flowers in a metaphoric way.]]> 2020-09-15 13:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747690820 https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747692168 using the images of flowers was really beautiful and gave the reader a better understanding

At the end, Jericho references three names of black men that had lost their lives so soon.

He talked about things that’s going on now in peoples lives . Like fathers not being around to tell their kids they love them . Girls growing up fast a lot of things that’s happening in today’s society . He used flowers as a example, same way flowers grow & blossom in their own way , we do too .]]> 2020-09-15 13:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/1053881_12/on7nvo6d90w0p0br/wish/747721877
