The wind seperates
a seed and its flower,
Lifting the seed with
all its mighty power.

As the seed and flower
slowly drift apart,
they look deep inside,
and find a broken heart.

Yet, as time goes by,
the flower and seed
feel no more sadness
and from pain, they are freed.

yuprincess wrote:The wind seperates

As the seed and flower
slowly drift apart,
they look deep inside,
and find a broken heart. This is what confused me the most. Look deep inside themselves? How does drifting apart cause finding a broken heart? Explain a bit, please :P

This is what happens when
you slowly drift apart.
You mourn and cry
and receive a broken heart.

You miss the spirit badly, but
as time goes on,
You start to get by
and the pain is gone. Alrighty, the last two stanzas make your poem sound like a speech, or an essay, and you're summing up your main points. I would either take away both stanzas, or change them thoroughly. But that's just what I think. Other than that, it was a pretty cool poem. Well done!

I was really loving it up until the third stanza.
The first two are very nice, though.
I don't like the use of 'you' in the fourth stanza, it seems off.
And the fifth stanza kills all the subtleties you worked hard to frame delicately before; it's just redundant.

Okay I took away both stanzas..I really didn't like them either and weRe confused about them. When I say a broken heart I'm talking about that sad feeling you get when you miss that spirit after you've drifted apart from each other you start to feel sad because you miss the other person...

I really like this poem. But what does it mean? What is the subject? Did someone break the writers heart? I needed more specific writing. Not that your isn't, but that is just my opinion. I really like the the moral of this poem. i think that you are good as a writer. I love the analogie, too. So.....It was good.
