Bouquet

[Poetry In Motion]

Bouquet

Funny thing about flowers
and a woman’s wanting

What a thing to admire —
this reception of sacrificed bloom
a temporary wonder of sight and smell

then rot.

She only offers lust when they are pretty and plucked.
Dropped in a vase perfectly cut.

It seems she has little use 
for them once wilted but she 
wont be the one who takes the garbage out.

And yet this is a symbol of my love.

Haha, good poem indeed. It seems to be about symbolism (love definitely) I like it! Just some quibbles:

- Wont needs to be spelt like this: won't? Also good work I don't find it anything objectifiy or jarring in any way other than the latter.

Thanks for sharing.

(p.s I really like the theme and how it is something refreshing in terms of all these love poems being done to death with the same theme same everything pretty much)
