[hometext] => I wrote this poem to isolate how intimate love will fluctuate. There are only two stages in this poem: passion and passion lost. I wrote this poem with poetic devices aside from rhyming by stanza. There is a lot of repetition, anaphora, and personification.
[bodytext] => Soft rose petals in soft summer colours
Yellow for whimsical southern dreams Pink for yearning teenage romance White for weddings and brilliant hope Lovely summer days under protective willow trees Firelight when the warm night closes in Droplets of water on the morning roses White petals for lover's complete trust Pink petals on sunkissed breasts Sandy hair and salty skin Love soft as summer's breathe Gentle as summer's kisses Soft rose petals softly falling to the ground Cold autumn rain slowly tearing life away Pink petals of sincere love, dropped into the mud Shrivelling on the wet ground Summer dies with cold north skies Back to responsibility Tides dragging me back to earth Further away from yellow roses Yellow petals fading under old gray morn Here comes the snow Summer is so short-lived Lakeside love withered with the roses Just stalks and thorns Yellow and pink and white carpets Sinking into the tired earth Tears on white petals All alone now, with winter preying now No more cloudless days No more romance under cerulean skies My fathomless hope has been measured Love's come up short for us [comments] => 1 [counter] => 162 [topic] => 22 [informant] => uncooked [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
