I heard that the prettiest flowers wither by July
Standing in this sweltering summer, I wish it were a lie
If I'm a flower bloom penetrating through the mud
Then I'd most rather this burden be paid by blood

Seeing those petals drift down make my heart ache
Your spring died so suddenly, so unfairly, my dear
Know that I've promised to wait for your wake
And I hope that by then I'll have faced my fear.

This poem has a ton of vague references to me, so I'm challenging you guys to try to decode all of them-- I can't wait to see your interpretations!

I love this! It's a very bittersweet poem. I really like the first two lines, just the meaning and how they flow is really beautiful. Despite how short the poem is, it tells a very nice story. It's sad, like someone has been lost, but there is also a sense of promise and determination. It's very beautiful!

Sorry, this was meant to be a review, so I've reposted it as one

You did a fine job
Writing your poetry
I believe that you were born
To be a poet
Please don't put yourself down
By saying I could do better
Yes you did fine today
Also you should be proud of
Your achievements
You should not think about what others
Think about you
You are fine the way you are
Also you are somebody special
Made by God

Hey, aldokraas!

Thank you for your review, however, I believe this should be classified as a comment rather than a review!

If you'd like to make this into a review, you'll have to add WHAT I did good and what I could improve on. Here's a link to the rules and a bit of help on review spam, just so you know what not to do in the future!
