Epiphyte poem

While reading about Epiphytes in Mother of God, I wondered how an epiphyte poem would look.

Would it be like a beet ?
Coloring everything in its way

Can two poems mingle
Or are they better on their own.

For an Epiphytic poem to encroach
the roots of the other poem,
how do we recognize the root of a poem?

Can a poem be Grafting onto another?

Exercise:
1. Write an Epiphytic poem

Mother of God

Paul Rosolie

Gliding ant

When the author says that he saw tropical birds as soon as he got out at the airport, it feels weird that what is a bird to the local is tropical to foreigners. From there begins the surreal journey of a teenager. while reading about his man eater friend, it felt like I could very well be reading a magical book or an Unlikely Friendship series.
Even though I had read about epiphytes, jaguars the silent ghosts (prowling in our very own Hollywood), author Paul Rosolie brought his verve into the subjects explaining the whys and hows. His love for nature and research shows through the poetic description of epiphytes tactics, gliding ants evolution.

To dream not just of glow worms but sleeping in the jungle.

Successful Metabook.

You must have come across questions like if you could dine with one author, who would it be? Interspersing an Eliot's creation and her thoughts, author Rebecca Mead has brought Eliot almost alive.

A book on a book is hard to read if you havent read the book on which it is based. Despite that in-built slope, author Rebecca Mead hooks the reader into three yarns of lives of the George Eliot's Characters, George Eliot's and her own life. Bringing the writer, her fiction and the reader self onto a single page, the author has successfully elevated the fictional characters to real life likeness, bridged the chasm between the writer and reader(self) through the common instrument of life and its vagaries.

In high school, we had a small chapter called 'Maggie cuts her hair' from 'Mill on the Floss'.

It also has an odd huge rose. I looked at the tag, it said 35-40 petals. And then I saw Dolly Parton. It figures.
