Such beautiful words for such a sad poem :[ It makes me think of love. How can something so pure and beauitful cause so much pain. This poem makes that clear. Very well done. -Nik

You held no love of seasons
nor myself.

I found myself saying "awww"out loud when I read this..so sad, Temps:(

Nice wording in this poem, well done ( sad, though!)

5/5 Ingrid

I have been waiting for you to write a new poem and alas you finally write one and I am pleased with what I see. As always, your metaphors are wonderful and they are very vivid and lucid. The poems message was also sad and very emotional. You were able to get out your feelings in a creative way and still keep the power of how you felt. The poem flowed really good from beginning to finish. The stanzas were well structured and I found nothing that really needed changing. Imagery was just lovely in this poem and brought it to life with colorful pictures brought into my mind with your words.

"Perhaps I was too occupied
gathering scarlet lilies
to realize you were not that of
a delphinium;
you held no love of seasons
nor myself."

This was my favorite stanza and it made a wonderful ending. The shock at the end of finding that this person doesn't love you is also good as it adds to the importance of the title. This line was filled with much imagery and feelings and I feel like you expressed so much in this stanza with so little. Also the usage of the proper names of these flowers is really good as it gives me a solid image to see.

All in all, your talents as a poet have not diminished any. You are very creative and you have many poetic skills that I see you use in every poem. I hope you continue to write amazing pieces and blow away my mind with imagery, metaphors and deep and meaningful messages. Anyway, I hope you increase in your talents and you write stronger and deeper and more mature poems as life passes you on. Great job and keep writing!

I liked this poem a lot to be honest it was short but so full of feeling.
