Cinnamon Dreams

by SashaMirage   Dec 17, 2008


Surrounded in spices, which will I taste?
The one who offers me the world in haste,
Or the one who waits trying, loyal and chaste?

Saffron promises a golden future filled with pleasure
Caraway seems sweet but one day soon will become bitter
Cinnamon's fragrance stays when all others end in failure

I'm spinning with desire and love, in dreams of cinnamon
Sweet Aromas fill the air waiting for my final decision
Your my one and only, no other perfume can cloud my vision

    I understand why you would think that and normally I would change it, but on this one I don't agree because I am using metaphors. I am comparing the scent of cinnamon to perfume. Each perfume has its own special scent but most people can choose one above all others. Cinnamon as a spice has a scent that no other spice compares too... so thats why I chose perfume as a comparison and metphor...and to say that no other can compare to this spice and it is the only aroma I will choose. But thanks for the opinion, I always take them into consideration.

    'Your' - You're.

    One thing I noticed is that you're comparing many different things. Which is good. But, I think it's good to stick to one thing. Like, well the main one that I believe needs changing is that you're referring to the one and only with perfume - when it should be aroma or some sort of spice instead. Perfume and Aroma aren't quite the same thing.

    This was so beautful and sweet! It was as if I could taste what you were saying which might sound weird but your descriptions of this love were so unique it just blew me away! I loved the rhyming and the flow was flawlesss. Just a beautiful write.

    Well done!

    Lol, I love how you infuse the love in this poem with the love for food you (Okay, I) Have. UGH! Great, thanks. You now have my mouth watering at ten at night...I want cinnamon rolls! Well, more about the poem then: I like how each stanza has the same ending rhyme, it just flows off the tongue (like the icing dripping off the bun onto my finger, into my mough...GRR!) and how the imagery just captivates you (me) and makes you (me) smell the deliciousely gooey rolls. So, congrats, you have now made me hungry... ^_^ 5/5

    Overall I would say this a very good poem with a very nice finish. There was however one part that threw me off while reading and that was the use of Cinnamon twice. Once at the end of the first stanza and then at the beginning of the third.

    It is of course up to you if you wish to revise such things but I felt that it may help the poems fluency a bit more. Otherwise you have a great idea and unique meaning for this poem I really like the title, I think it works out well in the end. Descriptive phrases and great imagery.

    Nice work.
