Roses Are Dead, Violets Are Wilting

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Birds are still chirping and clouds are askew; The sun is still shining as the flowers renew. Leaving me breathless reveling the view, I leisurely watch as though I'm wanted too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roses are dry, violets are tilting, Shadows gloom over the barren and wilting; I sit there and watch, my happiness jilting. What once was so vibrant was now turned to grey, Slowly but surely withering away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roses are dead, as violets are too, Everything in sight now an ungodly hue; My once a happy life was swallowed by truth. Wondering why after all this time I've succumb, I silently apologized as my body went numb. -Rebecca V.

rebecca, SOnice to sEE yOng talent,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it.

My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like.

I have to give you much kudos Rebecca. For only being 14 your grasp on writing is far beyond your years. Your rhyming is well done and thoroughly thought out. I like theme of the wilting rose and the imagery portrayed...The formatting is terrific as well...I am going to make this a favorite so I can come back to it...Welcome to PS

Wow, I haven't been on this site for two hours and I'm already being greeted with such kindness. I appreciate that, and I can tell this is a really nice community. When I'm older, I want to go into the field of Composition/Creative Writing and this is kind of like a practice for me. I'll be sure to check your poetry out as well! <3 ~Rebecca

This is my first poem guys, sorry for the terrible formatting, I'm only 14. Age doesn't necessarily correlate with maturity, I'm just making an excuse lmao.
