'A Lonely Rose' Poem by Bernard Snyder
'A Lonely Rose'
Something must've happened over time
no one seem to ever ask for me,
maybe I've lost my significance
or the world's going through a catastrophe,
maybe people don't love anymore
which would make me totally worthless
I may as well become extinct
for I have no other means or purpose,
no one says 'I love you' as I do
or put hearts together just for the hell of it,
but if I no longer have the same affect
what I once stood for is now irrelevant,
I just wanted to make a difference
and keep a smile upon a face
believe that I meant a lot more
than just another flower in a vase.
Very good poem. Good to write as the flower in the first person. I like that a lot. I think 'for me' and 'catastrophe' forms a great and original 'rhyme' The message is very clear and I like it a lot. A very important bit of wisdom lies in these very melodious lines.
no one seem to ever ask of me. But, life goes on. Nice work.
the rose is a lovely metaphor. wisely used a good write good imagery
Good thoughts in this one. Read mine - O Dearest Love - Adeline
