The blossom blooms bright.
It's petels colorful.
It's scent sweet.
And everything seems brighter for its presence.

Butterflys flutter down,
To tast it's sweet nector,
And spread the seeds of life.

Soon the petels wilt,
The color fades,
And the scent disapears.

But the death of the flower,
Brings the creation of fruit
Rich and fulfilling
That lets the world thrive.

Okay, what is the flower folks?? Special present for the one who guesses right (okay, so everyone gets it if one person guesses right, but hey, I'm a goofball, what can I say?)


 "Sa souvraya niende missian ye." \
I am lost in my own mind.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great,
And would suffice.
-Robert Frost

Oooooo I want a present...lol. This is a nice riddle but my brian is a little infested at the moment so I couldn't get it. But what you could do is email me the answer and then I can say what it is.

Riddle me this
Riddle me that
You've solved my riddle
My hearts come back
You've seen through me
Heart and soul.
Good job my friend
You've solved my puzzle
Love it is,
the flower that never ends.

Hey, now what's my present?  Come on Sam, what is it?  I guessed right...  You can't tell me it's love, 'cuz I can't find it for the life of me...

simple, yet, picturesque, your poem explains love in a very subtle, realistic comparison.
when the flower dies, what is the fruit?
if you ask me, i say the fruit of a love gone by is wisdom. we are made wiser about love through our trials and experiences. but, thats just my idea of lost loves fruit. whats yours?

Actualy, the flower is lust, and the fruit is a more mature relationship, but they are both love   Thanks for liking the poem
