A Bouquet Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

A Bouquet

Rating: 5.0

I am yr virgin white, baby breath
Contrasting yr rose
With the colour of a whore's red lips
As we sit in a vase wilting
Yr thorn is cutting my delicate stem in half
And falling onto the floor
I am picked up by the vacuum cleaner

What a great metaphorical piece! Beauty meets a terrible end. That's the truth of life!

…I would pick them up too. And put them back in the vase with fallen petals beside.

Even dried up flowers maintain a certain color and delicacy. I would pick them up

This cutting poem would make a great addition to a movie like War of the Roses!
