Little bits and pieces of what was once complete and whole Broken shards of a crystal vase, each one sliced into my soul A single red rose he offered, to ease my sorrow and my fears petals withered and fell, along with my woeful desolate tears Broken vase, wounded soul, withered rose; love took its toll ________________________________________________ {February 23, 2016 ~ Fragments Contest by Broken Wings}

Great how you went from the vase to the rose and then to the soul. Great rhyme with love's Toll. Congrats on the win.

First of all, I love the picture that you posted with this poem, and secondly, "petals withered and fell", so descriptively accurate and moving. congrats on your placement in the contest :)-luloo

Thank you, Keith. I'm happy. I have a new vase, a healed soul, and roses are no longer my favorite flower.
