Fragile Poem by Valsa George

Fragile

Rating: 5.0


I have something so fragile inside
It is nothing but a crystal orb
Reddish in tint, sometimes it gleams
Sometimes goes off like a fuse bulb

To combat all shocks and tremors,
It is well guarded within a rib cage,
Handle it with utmost care
Or else it will break into shards!

Heart can work day in and day out. It keeps working and works till death. It is fragile and it can break. Ribs only provide physical protection. Protection from feelings is another thing. Beautiful poem.

What a lovely way to describe the heart.- - -I have something so fragile inside It is nothing but a crystal orb. They break so easily but at the same time can bear up under impossible odds. We have been made to be wonderfully complex, haven't we? I rather like your heart- -it is such a sensitive one and gives us such beautiful poetry to reflect upon. Thank you. 10 X 10! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The human heart. Yes, fragile and weak. Yet it can be surprisingly resilient. What I really love about this poem is how many memories it evokes. So well done!

It is nothing but a crystal orb, and it's too fragile on one hand but on the other it's crown of body and soul defended by their all might. Alas! When those we love bring tears in our eyes, it melts like a crystal of salt or sugar. a touching poem.

Heart is like a bubble – delicate – be it physical or the inner core Protect it from stress and aches of the soul with utmost care (10)
