Kinships




Youth is like a daylily,

a morning glory blossom is the heart;

the soul is like a tree, evergreen.

True love, a mysterious moonflower,

fragrant and shining.

    I like the way you compared to the daylilly.Very creative though I see what you are saying and have to agree.This was written really well and the words were effective and got to the heart of what you were wanting to say.Great job.I do not think that I would change anything.

    Perfect comparisons---
    but each fragile in its own particular way,
    as needing water, sun and love!

    Really great!!!!

      My poem was partially inspired by "Reflective" by A. R. Ammons:

      I found a
      weed
      that had a

      mirror in it
      and that
      mirror

      looked in at
      a mirror
      in

      me that
      had a
      weed in it
