I Saw You As A Flower: A Poetry Collection

by Ellen Allbrey Everett

There is a time for everything— a time to wither, a time to grow, and a time to blossom. I Saw You As A Flower is a poetry collection that encompasses heartbreak, growth, and finding love. These poems are for those who love too deeply, for those who break too easily, and for those who continue to rise— time and time again. Ellen Everett's words enable readers to confront their deepest sorrows and piece together the parts that are broken. This is a story of heartbreak and love— but more importantly, a story of overcoming, empowerment, and survival.

I so want poems to be
about something
other than love at
the level of
teenage breakups.
These were shorter
than most teenage
breakup love poems,
at least.

Au travers de la lecture de mon deuxième livre, complètement différent de la science-fiction Dune, je parcours ce petit recueil de poésie découvert sur TikTok. Chacun y trouvera refuge lors de la lecture de #isawyouasaflower. Léger, doux mais aussi épineux et desséché, le recueil évoque une peine d'amour et sa reconstruction jusqu'au moment de la retrouver. Cela pourrait peut-être vous arracher quelques larmes, évoquer de bons souvenirs, mais certainement vous procurera un sourire.

Absolutely adored this poetry collection. Ellen swept me away in the beginning. A time to wither is probably my favorite part, because I see myself in the poems. I relate to being hurt, being left, feeling unappreciated. It is truly something my heart needed to hear; there is a time for withering, but it leads to growing and blossoming. Refreshing, real and breath taking.

Such a beautiful collection. One to read over and over to remind ourselves of the beauty in everything.

Maybe this is how I deal with someone unloving me. Opps.
Definitely a great read!

This broke my heart that was already so sore. I needed more of these poems than I thought I did.

Incredibly cathartic collection of poetry, written from the heart. Ellen is very gifted. Well worth a read.

Good read, wasn't one of my favorites, but definitely some takeaways from it.

A quick read to rest my mind in between heavy book plots. It also brings to life certain things I've known but never correlated, as well as, open my eyes to some blind spots.
