Flowers In The Attic

1. Im a child of the attic,
2. Im as weak as the beans,
3.

in the attic roof which contain me,

4. Im as pale as the white arsenic my mother sprinkled on top my donuts,

5. my eyes are as red as the fire that consumes my rage,
6. my mind races, like the mice that scurry
7. across the floorboards in my room,
8.

four of us like petals on a daisy,

9. we wither without the suns nourishment,

10. Im a captive of my mothers selfish side,
11. social status is my mothers only concern
12. Im a child of the attic,
13. Im as weak as the beans
14. in the attic roof which contain me,
15. Im as pale as the white arsenic, my mother sprinkled on top my donuts,
16. my eyes are as red as the fire
17. that consumes my rage,
18. my mind races,
19. like the mice that scurry,

20. across the floorboards in my room,

21. four of us like petals on a daisy,
22. we wither without the suns nourishment,
23. Im a captive of my mothers selfish side,
24. Four of us like petals on a daisy
25. I am... a flower in the attic

Summary
The book Flowers in The Attic shows how the kids feel when they're locked up in their
grandmothers attic and their opinion on their mother when they find out she poisoned them. So I wrote this
poem describing how the kids felt when all of this started happening to them and how they kept thinking their
mother would win their grandfather over so they could get his inheritance. When he died and they would be
the richest person in the world. However their mother wanted to start over so she decided to poison them. This
is a spectacular book and I recommend it to anyone!
