I had to write a sonnet for AP Literature, and I was inspired by my horrible Marine Bio group project to pen out this work about being passive aggressive lol

The Bothered Bouquet

My courteous garden blooms fake flowers.

Insincere politeness fertilize them.

Once full-grown, I hand them out, soul sour.

Yet I grin widely, brightly, like fools' gems.

Red roses to those who prickle tense nerves.

Their cutting, cruel gossip match sharp, hooked thorns.

Delightful daisies for those who observe.

From their mouths are where harsh rumors are borne.

Tall tulips conceal lips that run astray.

These tulips' owners' lips play painful tricks.

Two-faced people change their minds day to day.

They're as simple as the flowers I pick.

I don't believe my ill thoughts are drastic.

It's why my flowers' stems are of plastic.

Speaking of the project, my hard work paid off! Ya girl scored the only 100 in the entire class 😤🔥👌🏼

While on the topic of Marine Bio, the class took a field trip to the aquarium and I took this Beautiful™ pic—

It looks like the turtle has a mustache 😂
