Love is like a flower
Some days, it blooms
and spreads its colorful, majestic petals
like a tulip in the beginning of spring.

Other days,
it withers up, shrinking inside itself
faster than an orchid
caught in the frosty bite of winter.

Where do we stand
today?

I wrote this poem when I was in the 8th grade, before I knew anything about love.

Very pretty, reminds me of my Morning Glory Flower I grew a while back; they bloom and die in the same day, and are often compared to love. Well..I am random today. Oh well. :) Nice poem, I hope I get to read more from you ;)
