The Poetry of Wildflowers: Poetry Prompts Inspired by Victorian Flower Meanings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736966549)

From R. Clift, comes her first guided poetry journal capturing the beauty and mystery of wildflowers and their secret meanings. Featuring 100 Poetry Prompts, Original Verse, and a Victorian Flower Dictionary.

Filled to the brim with original full-color antique botanical illustrations, this field journal is crafted to guide any writer to fill its pages with poetry inspired by the Victorian meanings of flowers.

Rosemary for remembrance, Bluebells for sorrowful regret, a White Rose to say 'I am worthy of you'- in the 19th century, flowers had their own language. Victorians used this secret language to send coded messages to one another- in a time when open displays of emotion were discouraged due to society's strict protocol. This language of flowers was developed for the expression of true feelings, it is these very same two-hundred-year-old sentiments that will inspire you to dive deep and explore different parts of yourself as an artist and a human.

Whether you are a poet, a poetry-lover, or just someone looking for somewhere to be authentic and discover yourself, you will find a safe place to write truthfully within these pages.

The Poetry of Wildflowers: Field Journal makes the perfect gift for poets, writers, sentimentalists, nature lovers, and those who adore history and the romance of days long past.
