The Single Rose

by Nicole   Oct 1, 2005


Dying and Fragile, yet still so fragrant and beautiful.
Remembering her time of royalty, she sheds one last lonely tear.
Cast into a corner to fade away in silence.
Once so alive and flourishing, Memories of sitting in the window sill to be looked at and admired .
Now left to vanish with only the slightest trace that she was even alive.
The darkness surrounded her, making her invisable to those who could even bear to look at her wilted petals and twisted stem.
The silence was like suicide.
Untill finally the lonely last rose slowly fell apart into nothing but dust...

~Everything Beautiful

    I like your imagery throughout the poem and the way you compared the rose to the girl was well explained and well written. You used grammar reasonably well, however evening up the lines to create a better flow could be useful, even though it doesn’t rhyme. Magnificent ideas and imagery. Great Work!
