Shower Tree
Flowers bloom in the middle of May
Just to die in late December
No matter what you do or say
They shall be doused like water on hot embers
5
Into the darkness
Into the night
Here there is no best
In this place that knows no light
Relinquish the thoughts from your head
10
Let go of flowers dying
Of loved ones already dead
There is no use in trying
To take back what was once said
Bang, Pow, Boom
15
Wars of life going on
Flowers fall in the gloom
Never again to see the dawn
Yellow flowers swept
Torn from dying trees
20
Never to be kept
Never to be seen

i can't change it after i post it
... it's the worst part... so retarded to post it

This is great... for the most part. Why in the world didn't you cut that fourth stanza out? Because, you are right, it's kind of the eyesore of the poem, you know? (Not meaning to rub salt in the wound or anything.) Still, very good poem... The flow was a lot better in this one than the one I just read.
Hey, could you read some of my work and tell me what you think???
