Beauty and pain

Reoccurring this dream I had
Could this be good or bad
Is this something about to occur
Slowly my mind begins to stir

A rose floating in the air
Pondering on why it's there
Marveling at its beauty
Looking at it can be soothing

But petal by petal
They begin to fall
Petal by petal
They slowly begin to dissolve

Grasping this beauty
The thorns begin to pass through me
Hand writhing with pain
Driving me insane


But the beauty I have now restored
Has stopped the pain that once poured

Welcome to Passions. Glad you joined us. Give me your honest opinion? Mmm! The poem is centered around a strong enough theme. The rhyme scheme could use a bit of rework though.

Marveling at its beauty
Looking at it can be soothing

This line in particular needs work. The two words beauty and soothing do not rhyme at all. Also you hodge podge the rhyme scheme around. At the moment as it stands you have written this piece in this metrical pattern.

AABB CCDE FGFG HHII JJ

This is a rough translation since some of the words are imperfect rhymes. It would be a more enjoyable read if the piece followed the same flow through out. I would rework it so the rhyme scheme went:

AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH II

In truth though it is a good piece and can stand as it is if you are not worried about the technical aspects of writing. I did enjoy the read. I hope thisa is the type of honesty you were looking for. Looking forward to your next post.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!
