Rose

by RobinAnn13   Jan 28, 2008


Love is like a Red Rose
In full bloom its beauty is breathtaking
Each petal tells a story
Of how long it took to grow
Its hardships
Its struggles
They never seem to show

Life is like the stem
Taking water to survive
Each thorn tells a story
Of all the pain it has to bear
Its problems
Its bloodshed
But its protection is always there

Hope is like the leaves
Greater than the hurtful thorns
Each pattern tells a story
Of how hope made it through
Its suffering
Its sorrows
And its happiness too

Death is like a Black Rose
Still so beautiful but weak
Each petal tells a story
As it's withering away
Its regrets
Its successes
Its memory is here to stay

    The repetition in this poem is effective and links the stanzas together really well, when I read the first line I was wondering why this wasn't in the "love" section but then when I got to the second stanza I realised. The structure is really strict and it keeps the poem well-together.

    Nice one,

    I like the symbolisms you've used in this poem. You have some minor errors in this poem though.

    (Its) hardships
    (Its) struggles
    (Its) problems
    (Its) bloodshed
    (Its) suffering
    (Its) sorrows
    (Its) regrets
    (Its) successes
    = It's

    Anyway like I said earlier... It was a great poem. I like the topic in this piece, well done. I think it flowed nicely, keep up the good work :)

    I have to admire this deep, beautiful yet somehow very sad piece. I like it from the first to the last line, it is very captivating and it left truly powerful impression on me. Your comparisons are amazing, very unique.
    Breathtaking piece, one of the best poems about life I've read in a while.
    Excellently done!
