Debbie
I know to well the feelings of being dead inside like the flowers entombed in the crystal paperweight.

Yet
Within this cold embrace
I live not

Excellent job!
Love you Cindy

"Within this cold embrace
I live not"

Wow.. i would never have ever thought of using a paperweight in this kind of context..
It's excellent.
I am totally over whelmed by this verse Deb.. it could touch on so many different meanings..
Brilliant work!
5/5

Paperweight.....unusual........very beautiful
you just astound me.........

Beautiful..........so very beautiful

What a clever metaphor.This could be interpreted so many different ways. That is part of the majesty of your beautiful masterpieces. An excellent off the scale job once again!

Yes, I agree, a clever metaphor. You have a unique usage of words to describe deep feelings. Amazing.

Thi9s is fantastic-somewhat surreal, yet very emotional and full of great images. It is sad, yet beautiful. I love the last line.
All my best,

Very interesting nice poem 5/5

This poem is very beautiful, and it was nicely penned. I wish it could have been a little longer, but you did a lot with the small amount of space you had. Nice vocabulary. 5/5.

Paperweight such an usual subject to write about.......?? Excellent write.. beautiful...
perfect..... unique .........

If you didn't title the poem A Flower Paperweight, I might have known that's what it was. Even though it was short, the meaning was clearly grasped. I could actually picture a paperweight. Nice job.

Now pieces like this remind me of why I love poetry so much. despite being so short, the depth you put into this was stunning. this created so many emotions for me. despite not rhyming, the flow in this is wonderful. beautiful work.

Ah, took me two reads to get this, and the title helped. It's about a flower encased in glass right? And you are looking at it and thinking of how fakely alive it looks?

Again, an ace idea, which is half the battle with good poems, is the initial notion of the poem actually interesting enough to fuel a whole poem and keep it stoked.

I thought this piece would use more Grammar, because it does not have natural flow to it, unless you want everyone to find their own rhythm, which is fine. The last two lines are gold, and for me really make the poem becasue out of all the lines they say the most about your feelings for the object.

Well done.
