Roses Reborn

by Riley   Aug 6, 2007


When these petals shrivel neatly,
And fall hard to the ground.
They'll hit the dirt below our feet,
And resign without a sound.

The stem is left untouched,
For the thorns are ever threatening.
With time it wilts and yellows,
Showing a death no less than settling.

When the once beautiful rose,
Decays and wastes away.
It leaves behind a fragment,
Of itself from its bright days.

Forgotten in the rich soil,
A new seed starts to sprout.
The tiny shell of the plant,
Sucks moisture and breaks out.

Soon there's a whole new bush,
Beauty of the deepest red.
Roses reborn from a worthless corpse.
And we forget about the dead.

    I must say at the beginning of this poem I completely thought " He can't outdo the first stanza, the ending is going to stink" But, I was wrong.x D

    It was a great poem, beginning to end. Just like all of yours are. So many people either have too strong of a beginning or ending, but you have the ability to even it out flawlessly.

    I'm sorry my comments aren't very useful, I kind of wish I could fin d something wrong, just so that they could be useful. Lol.
    But, your poems need no work, no help, no adjusting - they're perfect. xD

    keep it up.
