The Rose
by Victoria Medley (Age: 20)
copyright 05-14-2004


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Rose sitting on the table,
slowly wilts and dies.
I know it won't last forever,
but I want it to.

Its smell is so intoxicating,
so sweet at first.
But I quickly get used to it, and
stop noticing.

The color so vibrantly red, both
beckoning and warning.
But it slowly turns brown, and
becomes worn.

No matter how much I water it,
how much love I give.
It continues to wither and die,
leaving me alone.

But, oh, for those first few days,
all I could see,
all I could smell,
all I could think of,
was that rose.

I like this poem a lot! I like how the rose is being used as a metaphor! It adds a nice touch, especially because I love metaphors =]
I like the last stanza a lot. I think it does a good job of summing up the poem.
But is the rose supposed to be compared to love?
I have never necesarily experienced real love, but I think that the rose and this poem could represent a lot of different things. Maybe even life in general.

Anyways, I love the poem. It was a joy to read =]

Roses are beautiful. Too bad we so oft' pluck it from the plant that gives it life. Sigh... I think roses have got to be one of my favorite flowers ever. Iris' come close, and so does the secent of a lilac bush. :-)
