for perfection being made So tiny, so delicate-- each detail could never be magnified to show her beauty kept in secret stored in chloroplasts Her petals wilt, and crumble in my fingertips her fading lips now take a sip of nourishment from ragweed crypts The weed may die of winter's wrath but beauty still will last |

The title of this poem is good, Carly. As is the whole thing. I think I'm starting to become desensitized to the power of your work however, as this one failed to really hit me deeply. It's a great piece of writing and I can't find what could possibly be wrong with it. However I leave the floor open to different replies. ![]() ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day.

Excellent, Carly! Not the best I've read by you, but another awesome display of your talent nonetheless. I loved the last two lines. I enjoyed this very much. Nicely done. --Marie "Well the sun is slowly sinking down, but the moon is slowly rising. So this old world must still be spinning 'round. And I still love you." –James T |

I've read better from you, but it's still a beautiful poem. I feel that there's something missing... Ah well...leave it to the pigmes. ![]() -Leah Va pensiero sull' ali dorate... |

I didn't think this was up to some of the levels of poems i've read from you Sissy. I did love the message though. Keep posting! ![]() I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
