A bouquet of roses
(They smell so lovely)
Mean more when you're chosen
(I'll accept humbly).
---
A box of chocolate
Tastes so delicious
I'm glad to have it, but
Feels thin as cirrus.
---
A dance. Date? I'm HONORED!
But before I find hope
(Don't make it awkward)
I swear I won't mope.
---
Tell the truth, tell it straight
But be gentle, please
Let's not prevaricate
I'll take it with ease.

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”

The things themselves mean nothing, without the feeling. That's very true. A poignant truth, succinctly expressed in a finely-crafted poem!
I love the breaks in the poem, the way it flows and gives personality, truly great!
Oh I really loved the flow of this poem! This was so beautifully written!
Love the rhythm and rhyme scheme in this piece! Beautifully done :)
masterful vocabulary, great read.
I loved this one. It asks for a simple bittersweet wish that I certainly hope people would understand given the opportunity.
