When Innocence Is Crushed Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
When Innocence Is Crushed
A beautiful flower bud
Never been embraced
By the warm rays of the sun
Never been kissed
By a butterfly
Never been caressed
By rain.
It is like a wonderful gift
That carries hope
And a great promise
Ready to share its life
Ready to be a part of our life.
Yet someone stretched out
His powerful fingers
Not to gently touch
The fragile bud
But to cut off the stem
To which it is attached
Put it in a vase
As if to command
The beautiful bud
To open and bloom just for him.

If we don't pick a flower, It grows for all to share But if we put it in a vase, It dies alone there. Your poem gives food for thought.
Beautiful bud is the insightful power of beautiful flower And insightful sense is the powerful wisdom of human The bud is ready to share its life of fragrance with all And insightful sense is ready to be a part of our peaceful life So, Do not allow the heart of love to sever the beautiful flower in exhibition its innocent beauty Do not allow the heart of love to hate others in spreading the fragrance of universal peace
A poem full of powerful metaphors. Extremely well done. Thank you!
Deep and insightful is this metaphoric rendition of yours. A beautiful creation written with clarity of thought.
I get hurt when flowers are plucked by people, specially from other's garden.Thus your poem is a very good message.
I was sad in the third stanza only because the connection of bud was severed selfishly.
