The flower pot stood against the window pane; no one ever knew a flower existed in it.
In the summer, it’s color were loud, appealing, and warm; as it grew and expanded it’s leaves.
In the winter, it withered; the flower and petals began to fall, the colors began to fade and the growth of the flower begun to decrease and limb over the flower pot; the flower had died.
It had no meaning; it had no purpose because it was dead…
Everything has a purpose and everything has a reason…
When life dies; new life begins; the flower had grew another bud and now there were two; one bud dying and one bud alive because the summer and winter had came again and yet it stood, alone and unnoticed until it rained and one of the buds grew and turned into a rose lying next to decaying flower that bloomed.
“The Decaying Flower Blooms”?
The title made me think of someone who's life wasnt as good as it shouldve been, and then they're trying to start anew. Just the title has so much meaning! I really like this poem. I like how the last stanza explains the meaning of dying and birth. The rose part was just beautiful. You are very good at thinking of symbolism. Poetry is sometimes about symbolism. Most writers have a hard time thinking of things to stand for other things, but here you have done it perfectly. Its not too obvious, but obvious enough. Very nice! I really want to see more poems!!
