Type of Short Story: Storyful Poem
May you rest in peace, mysteriously fuzzy plant.
A plant grown from the ground, from the dirt.
A plant grown up strong, two hands from palm to finger.
A plant grown up mysterious, an unknown species to me.
A plant with a fuzzy stem, unique shaped leaves.
Discussed with Mantis,
What it was was amiss.
Thinking it was like another but then saw that it was not
As it grew up a lot.
Almost every lunch I went to visit,
And sometimes too I'd touch it.
Its leaves were soft
And afterwards I'd jump aloft.
Days passed with peace and growth,
And I sweared an oath.
To watch it grow up
Until the school year's end or it sprouts a bud.
Though stopped in my track,
There came a smack.
There the plant laid,
Under the building's shade.
Pale and with bugs,
I just wanted to give it a hug.
The whole plant's bed filled with water,
It was ruthlessly slaughtered.
