I really like the emphasis that the punctuation places on this piece
the words are beautiful in themselves and I like the message of choosing to grow - it is a strong image nice take on the prompt!

I like the imagery your poem provides in supporting the theme of germination although somewhat cautious and reluctant. The warmth of the sun will provide the needed incentive to stretch out and reach his full potential. Well written in an interesting form.
