True to the title
funny, but i have not been here long enough to know what the fuck you are talking about. go down on your bad self.
hehe no, don't worry, I'm not having a rough time. This poem was written with my best friend in mind (that's the we). It's about how when I die, part of me will grow in the roses I envision being planted with my ashes. When a surviving loved one should smell them, memories of my life will be conjured up.
Roses are a type of flower that can be difficult to grow. They need a certain environment and a lot of care. But given those two, they will flourish. I can identify my life with that.
Succinct! The last line, though, "wearing" seems wrong, maybe something stronger like shouting.
Excellent piece.
The title I like...not blown away by the poem
i think it is pretty damn good. simple. ONly just shy of elegant.
i hate to go along with the crowd, but u deserved a 10...u surprised me. good job.
ive been thru this exactly. good job.
I love you...this poem is beautiful
very kool, i like it :)
not often that a very short poem tells a complete story with a distinct point... i don't know, maybe cuz i live in dc it makes it easier to understand it. regardless, well done
thank you
As a philosophy major, I really enjoy the topic of this. <grin> Good job.
Beautiful.
i like how most of your lines ended with a verb. at the same time, it was difficult and choppy to move from one line to the next mid-sentence with such brick like words. if the language was not as gruff and more melodic it would have flowed much better. the structure took me away from the content, causing me to lose your point. after re-reading it, i did enjoy the poem's notion of reform and losing older ways of life.
one question, why would you be lying under rose stems? I'm not trying to be an ass, I just want to make sure you aren't "having a rough time" and considering something dangerous. Intersting work though even though I have no idea what it's about I give you an 8 I'm on AIM at Impishkat
I love it...sounds like a Streets song...I could read it a hundred times...also mad props on the Zodiac line I'm glad someone had the balls to stand up to him!
