I long for a primrose, a violet, a flower.
Life with the sun, forlorn pink
Always by a willow or tree,
Dewdrops wetting the aspen leaves.

I long for a primrose, a violet, a flower,
But live with a thorn like no other.

I was given a group of words at school and told to make a poem out of it. This is what I came up with.
