Forget the Flowers That Cry

WOW!
Okay I'm not great with interpretations but I feel like this is a metaphor for society in general. How we are often too selfish to see the world around us, to see people in poverty in particular. Is that right?

Oh and I loved this verse:

Still life has jailed dreams
which dared to be true
time is drunk
in the wine of money.

So beautifully penned. 5/5

Wonderful expression and choice of words. It really made me think, 5/5.

An interesting piece. The whole imagery gives vivid depicts in whole piece. The rhythm, the flows and the scheme of your poem are perfectly written. It entails your expertise regarding poetry, the words of choices are brilliant too.
**Breeze of sweet roses
caught in the spider's web of greed
mountain of hope crumbles
upon thorns of materialism.--one of my favorite part..
As, a whole I love it....very well done:)

This is a lovely and sad poem about the state of the human condition. We want life, but the burdens and 'wants' of material living have polluted our minds. Instead of fulfilling our more natural instincts, we simply bury nature with cement and forget the flower that cry. I love all the analogy.

To me so many nature poems are somewhat dull and boring Meena, but not this one :) This one is alive and kicking delivering a great message. I love how you gave nature a voice here, jailed dreams and cement joy were great choice of words to really make this poem "pop" Hope all is well Meena, great write!
