Excellent Death of love. Wonder : Fate of the Orchid by Michelle D. Carr Rhyming Poetry Contest contest entry

What did it mean to plant your seed which grew  within my heart, fertile with memories? Looking upon your first green shoot, I knew that my heart could endure future journeys.   I watched you spread your flowers in your home of terracotta clay and praised their life. Your red-hearted blooms continued to roam And gave hope that love survives sorrows knife.   But now you drop your blooms and say farewell, and I empty your terracotta home. I drop the lifeless dreams I cannot tell except within the lines of this poor poem.   The forked road brings a choice for me to make… to plant another seed or love forsake.   Author Notes An orchid raised from a seed to memorialize the end of a love, friendshipâ?¦.
