Little Orange Petal Flower (Free verse) by i_am_the_popsicle My spirit is a little orange petal flower
Orange petal flowers
Bloom in Spring
Thrive in Summer
Fade in Autumn
Die in Winter
Little petal flowers in your hair
are far more lovely than they are on the ground
Little orange flowers in your room
are far more romantic than they are on the ground
Little orange petals
Smell nice in Spring
Look vibrant in Summer
Ride the breeze in Autumn
Shed tears in Winter
And my spirit is a little orange petal flower

With the changing seasons, your spirit dies then is reborn...its sad, but then if we could all be little orange flowers...we could refresh ourselves seasonally and be new again...sounds good eh...lol :) :) Bethy
It reminds me of the seasonal-depression I expierience. The winter is horrible. The summer is awesome. You're poem is alright.
The poem sounds good and all but isn't the idea of a spirit that it doesn't die. That it just drifts off somewhere into eternity. Or did you mean spirit as in enthusiasm. Put Spirit in the place of all the little orange petal flower parts of the poem and you'll see the places where your spirit isn't like a little orange petal flower. Maintaining the metaphor is at the utmost importance in this poem for the point of the poem is the metaphor.
Love the concrete like structural design of the poem. 199 view(s)
