in the cherry orchard
where I breathe in blooms
and lay among the roots
who grow from memories
the blossoms sunbathe
above as I make shapes
out of the sky with my hands

Yes! This is the stuff I love to see! Lovely poetry you have there. Is there a reason you used the term “who” to refer to roots, instead of the standard “which” or “that”?
Thank you! Paul was playing guitar the other night, and this poem came out real quick! I used “who” because the roots seemed more like people who were hanging out there with the speaker. Plus, it is a softer sounding word than “which” or “that.” Do you think I should change it?
No, I don’t think you should change it. I like your reasoning for having it!
