Anthropomorphize, Day 24
I was once reading about Staghorn Sumac and it was characterized as a "pioneer" plant because it likes to grow into new places. It's one of the early plants to begin reclaiming territory. If you had to characterize your plant in a similar way what might it be? If you can't think of a single term like "pioneer" what are some phrases that capture the personality of this plant? If it were a person what words would you put to it? Is it aggressive, hearty, flamboyant, sullen, precocious, etc.? What words come to mind for you? Once you have those words, does any one picture possess those qualities. For example, with my plant I find it elegant, yet unassuming and quietly aspiring. For some reason a dancer comes to mind. A young dancer, not quite sure of herself, yet.
