Josette Key Poet Rhyme

Love and War

If I were a plant
I would be a cactus
Beautiful to look at
But painful to hold

If I were a place
It would be Alaska
Beautiful, majestic
But decidedly cold.

For every action
There is a reaction
Or maybe it's karma
I'm told.

But, without you to hold me
I would have no reason
To still be here when I'm old.
