The bleeding heart
Endemic to Pennsylvania
A sure sign that we are cresting the curve that is spring.
This flower, or whatever this thing is symbolizes more than just the breath of nature.
They symbolize my own bleeding heart.
My heart bleeds as I watch my precious bull market economy crumble around me.
My soul drains as does the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
As seen in my photograph.
The dark night of spring is symbolic of the dark abyss that is unemployment.
It looks ahead of me.
I’ve never seen a flower like this so it was interesting to see. I like your piece and how you made the flower a symbol. I thought it was really creative and I enjoyed reading it.

This flower is so beautiful, it looks like a heart lowkey. I like how your writting is short but understandable, I liked reading this! -Gigi

I think this is one of the best plants/flowers that you could have come across for this assignment. The symbolism of the bleeding heart in relation to the current state of the world is powerful as is the idea of writing about a blooming flower as many other things seem to be falling apart.

I loved the ending sentence “It looks ahead of me.” This flower was a great metaphor for how you are feeling. It can feel impossible to see ahead, and it feels like some force that we can’t communicate is pushing this along. Great job
