Robert James Liguori Poet Rhyme

As The Last Petal Falls

I am the last petal on a rose
and I hold on tight
so my owner will be pleased
and carry on with her delight

My other petals are now gone
all fallen from above the stem
it was so sad to see them go
reaching their bitter end

But I hold strong
encouraged by Glenn Hughes songs
of love and laughter and pure happiness
it is where I do belong

Oh no, my base is weakening
I'm falling, losing breath
it was a joyous run
but now I have my death

Ink Empress March 6, 2025 at 2:36 AM Dear Robert, What a most strong flower youv described here; in the form of personification! Flows very well too: the opening especially speaks volumes of emotions and how one holds on firm and strong to please their owner: i love the ending too! So deep and poignant! Its ok sometimes we write for the pleasure of it: not to please. Well delivered. Sending you light always
